Maybe I found them similar because they’re both frontier stories, but I think it’s also the particular liveliness that both books possess that also connected them in my mind. In storytelling style, I found it reminiscent of my experience reading Larry McMurtry’s amazing epic Lonesome Dove. Sometimes you want a novel that just moves. Mike has a brisk pace, of the sort that I really like.
Many of the people she meets are from First Nation tribes such as Dane-zaa (called Beaver in the book) and the Cree. The novel is about Katherine’s relationship with her husband and it’s also about her relationship with the harsh country and the people who live there. They marry and his job soon takes them to remote outposts in northern Canada. Soon after her arrival, she meets and falls in love with Sergeant Mike Flannigan, an officer in the Canadian Mounted Police. It was a relatively easy, clean read.In 1907, 16-year-old Katherine Mary O’Fallon travels from Boston to live with her uncle in Calgary, Alberta. If you like Janette Oke type books, you will probably enjoy this one. I don’t know that for sure but it felt like a non-Christian version of a Janette Oke book, but Jeanette Oke was written long after Mrs. It is a reasonably clean book, although I will say it is set on the frontier so it deals with some tough topics.Īfter reading this one I also feel like Janette Oke copied a lot from this book or at least was probably very inspired by this book. I read this because I had seen it mentioned in online as a great, clean romance book, especially for teen girls. You might not agree with all that happens in this book or how people are treated, but it is based on real life and real people. We might not agree with it, but it is history. Much of the writing style is simply what happened during that period. Although this is based on a real story and real people. In some ways, it is a classic that is fun to read today and in other ways, it is very dated with language and topics that would not be in modern-day writing. In many ways you can tell that this was not a modern book.
She meets a Canadian Mounted Police and her life is never the same. This book is about an American girl from Boston who is sent to live with her uncle in Canada. Mike by Benedict and Nancy Freedman was first published in 1947.
