Great details about living and working on the new prairie. Very real characters. Loved it.
"little house on the prairie" meets "pilgrim's progress". this story tells thr tough lessons the immigrant had to learn as they moved out onto the lonely prairies of america.
Although the ending is clumsy and contrived, the rest of this book is a delicate exploration of depression and its effect on a woman at the end of the world.
