Customer Reviews

One of my favorites

This is truly a story that anyone will enjoy. It is a wonderful story of hardship, determination, love, and joy. I have read it so many times, and every time I read it again I like it even more!

Rave

I read this book the first time when I was 12. I reread it at 32, married, with 3 children. It stopped me from whining, reminded me of how I used to view the world, and made me feel Comforted. Maria reminds us all how truly thrilling life can be as a woman.

Absolutely charming!

This captivating, wholesome story is a refreshing respite from our often hectic, sometimes violent existence in the late 20th century. Pontus and Maria are completely devoted to each other and their family. They don't merely "put up" with each other's differences. Those differences actually serve to endear them to one another. The various situations the family gets into made me laugh and the descriptions of Swedish food and customs was enchanting. I loved this book!

A delightful story with very good values.

A heartwarming and amusing story about family life. I'm making it required reading for my teenagers,

A heartwarming family book

I have read this book 10 times over the past 15 years. It is a wonderful read of a young family transplanted in America. Warm, funny and even sad at time. A book for all in your family to read.
