There she meets her husband Mike (hence the title of the book) and the story follows them as they make a life together in the cold, beautiful, but often harsh land of northern Canada. The story begins as young, sixteen year old Katherine Mary O’Fallon travels to Alberta, Canada to stay with her uncle. Although it is a fictional story, it was inspired by true events. Mike was written in 1947 by Benedict and Nancy Freedman. But, to organize my thoughts a little better, I’ll start out with a brief synopsis and then explain why this book has become one of my very favorites. I hardly know where to begin with this review because I could go on and on about this book and how much I love it. I wasn’t sure if it was really the kind of book that I would enjoy, but Goodreads kept recommending it to me so I decided I’d at least give it a try. Mike is a classical example of the saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” Not that it’s an ugly cover, it’s just not very captivating. Well, one of the books that Goodreads recommended to me a few years ago was Mrs. I love using Goodreads, a website where you can catalog the books you’ve read, rate and review them, read other people’s reviews and find new books that are recommended for you. I don’t often read a novel twice but there are some that are worth it.
