   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. [Added to bookshelf] [Already added to wishlist] It subverts clichés, 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 being sent to the countryside. [Thumbs up] The only downside is the low rating due to the small number of reviewers. [Added to bookshelf] Another advantage of this book 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 no different from today. You can read it as a combination of farming and period fiction.
