- Synopsis
- Mrs. Mike is first and foremost a love story, the story of Kathy, a young Irish Boston girl, and Sergeant Mike, a Canadian Mountie, who is priest, doctor, and magistrate to all in a great wilderness of millions of square miles. It is the story of the start of young love, its growth to maturity, and its acceptance of a dangerous, hard, but enthralling life. Kathy's and Mike's lives embrace a score of unforgettable characters, whose destinies are played out against the tremendous background of the wilderness, at times beautiful, at times terrifying and overwhelming. The level of sheer entertainment is extraordinarily high. There is an acceptance of the hardness, the chances, the essential goodness of life lived close to nature that rings very true, and the dual authorship of the| book gives both the male and the female characters an added authenticity, a real tenderness and romance to Mike and Kathy that are rare and precious. Mrs. Mike is emotional, and refreshing. It doesn't pose any great questions to the reader or offer solution to life; it is a curiously lyrical solution in itself.
