One of my favorites in the series! You get a lot of character development out of Laura as she matures in both her professional and personal life, becoming a better teacher and really cementing what she wants out of life. Also, this is the book I'll point to when any family members question why I don't want to wear a white wedding dress if I end up getting married; if it's good enough for Laura, it's good enough for me!

Alright - I think this one was my favorite in the whole series. I absolutely loved everything about this book.
It definitely bugged me that Pa made Laura spend her money on that organ for Mary but le sigh. I also loved everything about Almanzo and Laura's relationship. It was just absolutely so pure and so sweet. Their buggy rides every week. His proposal. Agh. I just loved everything about it.

Joah, schon ok - aber ich glaube, dieser Band gefällt mir bisher am wenigsten. Irgendwie ist das so fremd alles. Die Situation in der Brewster-School ist schon sehr beklemmend und die "Brautwerbung" von Alonzo ist mir irgendwie entgangen - ok, es ist ein Kinderbuch und zu der Zeit war man eher zurückhaltender - aber außer dauernde sonntägliche Kutschfahrten hab ich da keine Annäherung gesehen... Interessant fand ich aber, wieviel stärker man in der Mobilität vom Wetter abhängig war - Pferde sind eben keine Maschinen wie Autos (wobei die bei diesen extremen Minustemperaturen wohl auch Probleme hätten), und da muss man halt schon mal die Nüstern "entfrosten", wenn es zu kalt ist. Außerdem müssen die jungen Gespanne "gebrochen" werden, damit sie als Kutschpferde taugen... das fand ich auch eher befremdlich und ich bin schon sehr froh, dass ich hier alles zu Fuss oder mit dem Fahrrad erledigen kann... Insgesamt mag ich die "jüngeren" Bände deutlich lieber - ich glaube, mein liebster bisher ist tatsächlich Band 1. Trotzdem werde ich auch den letzten Band noch hören, in dem es um die jung verheiratete Laura geht.

The chokehold this book has on my tiny romantic heart as a kid. I love it even more now.

I read these books as a child. I am so glad I have reread them now. As an adult and mother, I am able to appreciate Laura differently. I found myself enjoying her character (with ups and downs) more as a young child than after her sister Mary became blind. After this event, Laura becomes solely focused on doing everything to help Mary in some way. I find myself sad that I don’t find Laura wanting to do anything for herself, but constantly focusing on Mary, and later Almanzo, and finally Rose.
