A review by bravelass85
The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder

4.0

A long winter indeed. This was an interesting night book because the hard times allowed Ingalls to feel she could show her family as less than perfect (as in all the other books). In this books they get weary of always being positive sometimes and Pa isn't so moral - he has a few stories in here where he seems to permit stealing and the rough behavior of people on the prairie is showcased in a more realistic way than the other books. An enjoyable if monotonous read. I especially like seeing the Wilder boys woven into the storyline. Farmer Boy by far has been my favorite in this series.
