Sinossi
Laura e Almanzo Wilder, appena sposati, cominciano con grandi speranze la loro vita insieme in una casetta nella prateria. Ma ogni stagione porta inattesi disastri: tempeste, malattie, incendi, debiti. I due giovani non intendono però lasciarsi abbattere. Anche perché ora la famiglia è cresciuta... L'incurabile ottimismo del contadino che tutte le primavere semina i campi, scommettendo il suo lavoro contro gli elementi, si era fuso con il credo dei pionieri, da cui discendeva quella loro perenne convinzione che "più in là è meglio". Solo che quel "più in là" non si trovava più oltre il lontano orizzonte dell'Ovest, ma oltre l'orizzonte degli anni. Finalmente in lingua italiana l'ultimo capitolo della saga, uscito postumo sulla base degli appunti dell'autrice. Età di lettura: da 8 anni.

Recensioni
Bit of a lackluster end to one of my fave series This is an unfinished manuscript. Laura Ingalls Wilder intended to write a full novel on her early years married to Almanzo Wilder but she passed prior to finishing the book.

I hope that more recently-published editions have fixed the error on page 70 of my Harper & Row copy: Laura powers through labor by remembering one of the hymns Pa used to sing, but it's "Angel Band", NOT "Angel Bank"! Thank you, The Monkees' version of "Angel Bank" at YouTube, with Michael Nesmith

The last in the Little House on the Prairie series we listened to through the previous eight books, though I listened o this on my own. It's a different tone, an adult story, after the transition for Laura from pioneer girl to pioneer wife. I had read many of them while growing up with my sisters (a Leggi tutto
Don’t let the colourful, pleasant cover fool you - this is a miserable book. Someone tries to buy her first baby, her second baby dies, their house burns down, and her husband doesn’t keep the promise he makes to her at the beginning of the book. Which somehow I found the most galling thing out of a Leggi tutto
I read this book when I was a child and was shocked and disappointed by it. The tone is very flat and Laura and Almanzo seem like different people. It seems more of an outline than a full-fledged Little House book. I almost didn't re-read it this time to finish out my re-reading of the entire series Leggi tutto
