Mrs. Mike (Mrs. Mike #1)
This book is a real gem, which I very much enjoyed....It's a story of triumph over unimaginable hardship and heartbreaking tragedy, set in Alaska during the days of its first settlers.With unforgettable characters, atmospheric settings, lots of historical information about the time in which it's set, plus a wonderful love story, it's a book I'm so happy to have discovered.
Im definitely in the minority here, I wasnt wowed and I really wanted to love this one. It was okay I had spurts of interest here and there.
Mrs. Mike has been a lifelong favorite book. I've got a battered paperback that's been in my personal library for years, and I've been curious to see how well the novel holds now that I'm older and a little more critical of my reading material. The answer is: very well, especially considering that this book was written in 1947. This semi-fictional (reportedly mostly fictional) autobiographical novel follows the life, loves, adventures, sorrows and joys of the real-life Katherine Mary O'Fallon
4.5 Stars! Just a good old fashioned sweet romance!An oldie but goodie. It was charming, heartbreaking, full of sacrifice and struggles, and a couple devoted to each other through it all! Who wouldn't fall in love with this?!
This book is well-written. it's interesting, and it has very high reviews. I think I might be the only female in the world to not like this book. Here is my summary: The book starts off with a 16-year old Boston girl in the 1900's taking the train to the Canadian "Wild West" to live with her uncle. The girl is the narrator and she is clever, and funny. Kate gets to Canada and is told there aren't a lot of women up there because they are "too soft for this land". Kate meets Mike, a Canadian
I first read this book about a year ago when I found it on my Mom's bookshelf. She had picked it up somewhere for a quarter. Recently, I started thinking about it again and decided that I should read it again. I'm so glad I did. It is now pretty high up on my list of favorite books. It is a story of Katherine Mary O'Fallon who falls in love with a Canadian Mounty and leaves her comfortable home in Boston for the rugged, dangerous Canadian wilderness. It is based on the real Katherine Mary and is
