Caroline: Little House, Revisited

Product Information

I realize now that I should have made that connection much sooner but the truth is that, while I have given much consideration to the horrible way in which Indigenous Americans have been (and still are being) treated throughout the years, I never once thought of how this might impact my opinion of the Ingalls family. I love the familiarity of the setting, the people, and things like Pa’s fiddle, the shepherdess, the delaine.

Through assured prose, Miller puts us in those conversations, showing us the fear and uncertainty behind Wilder’s implacable, unflappable “Ma,” but also her strength and devotion to her husband and children. uk/landing-page/orion/orion-company-information/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Orion Publishing Group Limited.

The numerous sex scenes were totally unnecessary and awkward - definitely NOT in good taste for a Little House book.

While spontaneity is welcomed, we recommend booking your place in advance to ensure a seamless visit and to mitigate against a lack of availability of tour spots on the day. I didn’t understand this transition or why it was there; nothing like that happens anywhere else in the book. Laura created her own legacy and one could make a solid argument for Michael Landon’s iconic portrayal of Charles, but Caroline was regulated to a supporting role in both the books and television series so I was naturally interested in seeing what sort of depth Miller’s novel might bring her character. I think Miller does a reasonable job of balancing Caroline’s prejudice with Charles’s stead non-judgmental approach (and Laura’s excitement about a new experience).Though I enjoyed reading this book and would definitely recommend it to anyone who was or is obsessed with the Little House series, I must admit that I did have some difficulties with it. Back in 1991, Barnstable High student Caroline Kepnes tagged along to the Concord movie set of 'School Ties' where her older brother, Alex, was an extra.

Kepnes has published 3 sequels: Hidden Bodies in 2016, You Love Me in 2021, and For You and Only You in 2023.

I’ve often reflected on how difficult life must have been for Caroline and Charles, but this book doesn’t lend any joy to their experience at all. Laura is as impulsive as ever, Mary is just a little too good, Carrie is small and peaked, Ma's mottos provide steady guidance, and Pa's fiddle celebrates adventure, memories and home. It was nice to see the pieces of Laura's LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE show up in this book from Caroline's perspective--things like Mr. She restricts herself from showing anger or frustration, which is understandable given Laura’s depiction of how controlled she was.
