It’s one of those books that when the title is mentioned, loyal fans chime in about it, urging you to get a copy and fondly telling you why it’s so wonderful. ![]() Of course I’d heard of this book but up until now, I’d only made plans to – someday, I swear – read it. It is a love story of the First Peoples and their struggles, the immigrants and their hopes and all the people who came and went through Mike and Kathy’s lives. They meet, they court, they marry and, following Mike’s orders, move to Hudson’s Hope far into the interior of Alberta.īut it is more than a love story between two people: it is also a love story of the land and animals, of the beavers and the ice, the northern lights and the fires, of whooping cough and whiskey running. Mike’ is a love story, a true story the story of Katherine Mary O’Fallon, a sixteen year-old Irish girl from Boston, and Sergeant Mike Flannigan of the Canadian Mounted Police who meet at her uncle’s ranch in Alberta, Canada where she is sent to recover from pleurisy.
