Thank you, Kay and Jack Kraywinkle, for your review of Sister Lumberjack. You made my day.
Both my wife and I recently read Candice Simar’s latest book, Sister Lumberjack, and we both enjoyed it immensely. It was a facinating read and it’s apparent that as a piece of historical fiction she has done her research well. I’m a second generation Scandinavian here in the States, and have been facinated with the early logging history in Minnesota virtually all my life so I know it’s all accurate. She brings a very real and poingnant human element to the characters and makes the reader empathize with their struggles, fears and frustrations as well as their weaknesses. She is a highly skilled story teller and I may read this book again someday.
