Book Reviews of Mrs. Mike

Book Review: Mrs. Mike
Summary: 5 Stars

If I had to name one of my life-long favorite books, Mrs. Mike is at the top of the list. I first read the story when I was in 9th grade. I was quickly swept into the early 1900s and could easily envision the rugged terrain and difficult lifestyle in many of the remote areas of Canada. The experiences tugged at my young heart.

There was a line in the book that has been with me since I first read the book. "His eyes are so blue that you could swim in them." The love story had me laughing and at other times, crying. It was impossible to put it down.

I came across the book a little over twenty years ago after I had married a forester with eyes so blue you could swim in them. Reading it again renewed my love for the book.

Just a few weeks ago, I was telling my friend about this marvelous book, and yesterday she gave me a copy she had tracked down. It still is impossible to put the book down. Once again I feel like I am watching a beloved movie and visiting dear friends. Reading the paperback jacket made me realize for the first time that this story is based on the real lives of Sgt. Mike Flanigan and "Mrs. Mike". This story has endured the test of time with me. Since my husband and I have no daughters, I am getting a copy to share with my nieces. Hopefully, they will find similar enjoyment.

Summary of Mrs. Mike

Mrs. Mike is the love story of Katherine Mary O'Fallon, a young Irish girl from Boston, and Sergeant Mike Flannigan of the Canadian Mounted Police, who is a priest, doctor and magistrate to all in the great Canadian wilderness area under his supervision. Recommended by Library Journal.
