Nothing new has really been added to the problem so far other than that the mother died also in this section. One big twist in the story is that the time changes and the age of the people change so unexpectedly. Now Alex and Emil are older, and Alex has young Swedish girls doing her house chores. Alex also has a man stay at the house. He lost his land due to mismanagement years ago. So Alex's family took him in. My comment on this novel is that it can be very hard to follow along with the different events. The book likes to jump along the time line from chapter to chapter. the language in this novel is not that difficult, its rather easy to understand. I am not exactly sure what age this novel is aimed for because it is hard, and changes a lot. I'd say this book is a good teenager level reading book. I don't really see much of a theme so far in this novel, other than that it talks about how people charish their lives, and make the best of what they have. This is shown by the way Alex's dad tried to make the best of money he could out off his prairie even though he barely made much money. Then he past his land and responsibilities on down to Alex. Now she has to make the best out of what she has been given. Some new characters are only the 3 new girls that are the house keepers at the prairie.
