A review by shareen17
Mrs. Mike by Benedict Freedman, Nancy Freedman

I'm very conflicted on this book. It has two great main characters. The story of a young woman's new life in remote areas of Canada around the 1900s is told in such an engaging way - a la Little House on the Prairie or These is My Words. The part that makes this book very difficult to read is the extreme and pervasive racism throughout. I'm used to overlooking some outdated ideas when reading older books, but this is really too frequent to not interfere with the pleasure of reading it.
