Mrs. Mike was chosen for the Lit-Chix\\\'s Classic read for 2013. I was excited to read this book due to the amazing reviews and personal recommendations. It is a love story, one that by today\\\'s standards would have never lasted.

It is well written but at some points very slow. It felt as though the story was historically accurate and during those slow times it was probably very much so for the characters living it. The courage that it would take for a young, Boston girl to traverse to the wild, frigid frontier is somewhat unrealistic but never say never.

I did learn some about the Indian customs and the frontiers way of life and found it to be very interesting.
