WEST OF THE MOON

by | Read by Jessica Almasy

Children Ages 10+ • 4.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2014

Narrator Jessica Almasy provides a haunting delivery of a story that weaves historical fiction, Scandinavian fairy tales, and a coming-of-age theme. Thirteen-year-old Astri’s life has taken a bad turn: After her father goes to America and her mother dies, her aunt sells her to a cruel, hunchbacked goatherd for two gold coins and a goat’s haunch. Almasy voices the dark undertones of the story. She doesn’t hold back in showing Astri’s complicated character—an unsettling mix of kindness, conniving, and ruthlessness born from the need to survive.
