   Is this book any good? It's incredibly good! [Sparrow's Masterpiece] The female lead is intelligent, not a saint, has her own opinions, doesn't do charity work, doesn't suffer or be taken advantage of, works hard to get into a vocational school, and doesn't go to the countryside. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers [Already hooked]. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. A major advantage is its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Bookshelf [Added to bookshelf][Added to bookshelf]. Prices are reasonable and precise, with accurate amounts of money and tickets, meticulous details, and not too many awful characters. It feels like you're truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a historical fiction combined with a farming/rural story.
