Hattie Big Sky

by Kirby Larson
Scott County Library audioCDs 8.5 hours
read by Kirsten Potter
genre: YA historical fiction

For the most part, I enjoyed this story. Potter was an excellent narrator. It was especially enjoyable to "read" a story of a homesteader in the early 1900s so soon after having read My Antonia. The ending, though, was a disappointment. After all Hattie went through to earn the homestead, and after all the letter writing between her and Charlie, it just seemed to flop at the end. What a letdown. Beautiful story for the most part.
