![]() ![]() The historical accuracy of the 1816 summer-that-wasn’t when New England experienced winter-like temperatures and severe crop failures made for an exciting backdrop for Mem Nye’s story. I enjoyed FROZEN SUMMER (book #2 in the Remembrance “Mem” Nye series) right after book #1 and enjoyed them both very much. While obviously written for youth, I found it more than enjoyable and would recommend it to adult readers who fancy American historical fiction. I learned so much about early 19th century day-to-day living through the eyes of eleven-year old Remembrance “Mem” Nye. The rich texture woven into the tapestry of the setting snagged my attention and held it fast. The author’s note at the conclusion told me much of what I’d suspected: significant research filled in the background of the Nye family’s journey from settled Connecticut in 1815 to the western frontier of upstate New York. I’ve used Goodreads’ raking system where 3 stars = “liked it”, 4 stars = “really liked it”, 5 stars = “it was amazing”.Īt the recommendation of a friend, I read the YA novel, JOURNEY TO NOWHERE, and enjoyed it thoroughly.
