Although A Very Long Engagement was interesting and intriguing, it was not one of the best books I have ever read. There was, however, extremely valuable information throughout the book. I learned a ton about trench warfare and the conditions and happenings in these trenches. I feel more educated on the things that went on in the trenches and particularly the relationship between different men in the trenches. I wasn’t previously aware of neither how people stationed in the holes were treated nor how they lived, and this book helped clarify my perspective. The basis of A Very Long Engagement is a woman called Mathilde who is searching for her fiancé who, apparently, was killed in action in WWI. Doubtful of Manech’s death, Mathilde follows the faint, buried trail left by her beloved Manech. The novel can be long and dreary, though there are a few parts in which you are biting your nails. One thing about this book, however, is that it is extremely difficult to follow. It seems as though the book was originally written in French, and then translated using Google Translator (and I wouldn’t doubt that this is true). If you know or have ever used Google Translator, you know that sometimes their translations are not exactly correct; they don’t always make sense. You’ll read sentences in this book that sound like a three-year-old wrote them. Overall, I did not care much for this book. It wasn’t overwhelmingly interesting nor did I gain a tremendous amount of knowledge. I would not recommend this book to anyone, except perhaps someone who reads it in French.

Some recent press on Wilder led me back to these books...and you really can't read just one. I remain disappointed that they haven't had the impact on my kids that they had on me - just couldn't get them to read this series. Thoughts from the 2014 read-through: - I had forgotten how much music was printed in the books. So many examples of hymns, and other songs throughout. - The casual racism in the books is hard to read today. Ma hates Indians, Pa participates in a blackface performance - these are presented as normal, not something to be concerned with. - Interesting to put this in context of when the books were published - right around the Depression/WW2. I think the self-reliance themes probably align very well with the issues facing the country at this time. Additionally, having the family face hardships (eg The Long Winter) fits with the prevailing problems facing other families at this time. Also noted some throw-away comments about Carrie not recovering quickly from the Long Winter. How many readers at this time would have siblings with nutrition issues, or other types of lingering illness? - I was surprised by how much fashion is in the later books - especially These Happy Golden Years. I'm sure it was a conscious decision as Laura's audience had grown up with her. - Reading through as an adult I definitely noted the not-so-happy sections. My overall feeling at the end of the readthrough was more one of contentment, but not "they lived happily ever after" - which again I think is reflective of the times both for the book setting, and for when the books were published. Overall: I can't judge these books without remembering sitting on the steps at my elementary school with my library copy. They are a significant part of my childhood, so the "remembered rating" stands.
