I was a little bored with this one but I'll still give it 5 stars because the history is fascinating.

It was all right. I didn't really enjoy the epilogue, it wasn't very detailed and didn't live up to my expectations. I live in a town 10 minutes outside of Almonte, where it takes place, and, for a girl in the area, I say it could have been better. And didn't make much sense that Flora liked being put to work each day, it doesn't work with historical facts.

I like the concept of the Dear Canada series, and this is the first one I've read of them so far. I did enjoy this book, but the ending was rather weak and disappointing. Hoping the next I pick up will be better.
