Volume 2 from the Mitchells trilogy
After WW II, Mr. Mitchell finds a new job in Montreal, Canada, where the cost of living is less. The dearth in available houses to rent causes him to rent a summer hut in the Canadian wilds. Hopefully by summer's end he will discover a house to rent. The six children, the mother and Grannie spend a summer full of adventure and freedom in the woods, making new, unusual friends.
This series is based on the author's childhood. God is mentioned a few times. The characters' religion seems Catholic as "mass", "priests", and praying to a saint are mentioned. One character logically says she is going to pray directly to God because He is the one who makes everything happen anyway. Why waste time praying to a saint?!!
How I wish I could give my sons the gift of a summer like the one described in this book!
*Highly recommend.
