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

5.0

What a way to finish the year! I like reading "cold" books in the winter and what can be colder than the Northern Territories of Canada 100+ years ago? It ended up being the perfect read for the last week of December. This book had a similar feel to it as the Little House books but for a more mature audience. It doesn't shy away from the gruesome details of life away from civilization. In fact, there is a scene in this book that pretty much made me physically ill and I don't think that has ever happened to me before while reading.
