    This is an incredibly good period novel, [Sparrow's Masterpiece]. The author's writing is delicate, and the imagery is vivid. Prices are reasonable, accurate to the cent. [Thumbs up] It subverts tropes, with no military marriage, stepmother revenge, or rough-and-tumble man. It's all about everyday family life, heartwarming daily moments, and the female lead gets a job after passing a vocational school entrance exam, avoiding rural assignments. [Added to my bookshelf] The only downside is the low rating due to fewer reviews. [Already added to my wishlist] Another advantage is its strong sense of the era, depicting the hardships of life and the need for ration coupons for everything, unlike some period novels that are indistinguishable from modern times. You can enjoy it as a combination of farming and period fiction.
