My life has been long and wondrous but I recall this book. August 11, 1999 A heavy reader, I have excellent recall but there is one book I read in my teens which I have always looked for and could not find. I am happy to be able to order it here.It is a story of simple young love which is thwarted by a number of societal rules...and as we watch the two parallel lives unfold, we are startled, near the end, to watch them pass one another again...our emotions never recover. That is why I must read it again as I ender old age myself.
Charming, at once heartbreaking and heartwarming portrait April 20, 1998 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I first read this book as an almost high school freshman; it stayed with me through the years and I had to 'find' it again through the same library almost 30 years later. The story has not lost any of its power and charm; the love and constancy of Amalia and Matthew for each other, and their ability to carry on despite separation, hardship and heartbreak is still a strong story. The story is a thorough, clear picture of the life of a settler, when what we now call the midwest was wilderness. Duty, the greater good of the community, just getting to the end of the day/planting season/year was an accomplishment. To do this well, with honor and simple love, carries the lead characters through. When they separate, in spite of all their intentions to stay together, your heart almost breaks, yet cheers for them as they continue. When they are 'almost' brought back together, I smiled at the irony and justice of this beautiful example of the full 'circle of life.'
