Lena Nelson Dooley understands the immigration struggles of the Swedes and it makes it easier for her to write about the Swedes in Minnesota and their brides.
Olina is supposed to marry Lars, but he fell in love with another woman and married her before Olina got to Minnesota. She has to find a way to support herself. With the help of Lars' sister, Gerda, she opens a dress shop.
August is in love with Anna and always has been, but she was his brother's "cast-off," and August didn't want the comparison between him and Gustaf.
Ollie and Lowell met a mysterious woman and fell in love with her. The mysterious woman happened to be identical twins and Ollie and Lowell each fell in love with a specific twin.
These are cute stories that while away an afternoon each. Life in Minnesota is interesting and Lena gives a good picture of that life.
The Brides of Minnesota collection is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a dress in the latest fashion.
My thanks to Barbour Books for allowing me to read this book.
