When I asked the kiddo if she'd finished this one, she sort of didn't answer and then said that she didn't like it. I was puzzled as she usually gobbles anything Laura or Rose related.I think I know why, though, because I cried my eyes out for about a chapter and a half. Those chapters are weird, though, too. There's an awkward shift from Rose's point of view to Laura's.This one really starts to set up the trajectory that Rose ends up on, as well as the eventual writing of the original books.Fascinating true story about one girl's life in the turn of the century. I always find it interesting reading about how different attitudes were then, and the reactions to new inventions like telephones, cars and *horror* indoor toilets! I really relate to Rose, and found although the book was very simply written, it was beautifully done. I cried in several places, it was that good.
This is one of the more exciting Rose books. She gets to see the arrival of a new century- the 1900s, has an exciting boarder- Miss Sarah(an old maid),has a bountiful first crop of apples, and gets Paul to notice her. There are many deaths in this book. Also Rose turns into a whinny complainer for a while. Rose starts to hang out with Elsa Beaumont because she thinks that she has fallen in love with an older traveling man. Rose and Elsa sneak out to meet him many times. Rose starts to admire
The book begins with the turn of the century, 1900, an exciting time because one only lives through a turn of the century once in his or her life, if at all. Miss Sarah, a teacher and an old maid (but only 26) comes to board with the Wilders. On a bet, a wild 30-year-old bachelor named Wade starts to court her (but mocking her behind her back), producing gossip throughout the town. When Wade recklessly drives his horse and buggy into a tree (with Miss Sarah aboard) and nearly dies, Miss Sarah
If you are a fan of the original Little House series and are planning on reading this book, be sure to have a tissue box ready. This is one of the saddest books in the series because you will be saying goodbye to a very special character, and if you are like me, one you grew up knowing and reading about and watching. And it is written in such a beautifully sad way. The very last goodbye, whether historically accurate or not, is a tragically sweet one.Now that I have that warning out of the way,
Changes for Rose, and they're right along the lines that most girls at this age want to be reading about. Boys, of course. One in particular--the one you've been hoping for all along in the series.
This is probably the best one of the Rose books. He did a really good job of keeping it in the Little House style, and the coming of age story that he told of Rose was good. The part I liked best, though, was when Mama (Laura) went home to Ma and Pa because Pa was dying, and all the memories that came from that. I'm such a Little House freak, I was bawling like a baby that Pa was dying. I had to stop and remind myself that all of them are dead. Ma, Pa, Laura, Rose, even Roger, who was Rose's
