eandrews80 's review for:
The Long Winter
by Laura Ingalls Wilder
As a Minnesotan, I cannot resist a story about surviving a brutal winter! While all of the books in this series are engaging, this one is a truly gripping page-turner. Not only did the Ingalls face what sounds to be an apocalyptic set of winter storms, they did it without reliable access to heat sources and food. It's an amazing tale, if hard to read sometimes -- at one point, the family is subsisting on little more than bread and water, and Laura can barely concentrate or stay awake. In spite of the hardship, there are still many charming family scenes, and Laura always finds silver linings and moments of happiness.
