Reader note
This is one of the few period novels set in the South. The rating is a bit low because of the small number of reviewers. It mainly describes the warm daily life of the protagonist's family. The advantage is that it has a sense of period. This is the one I have read on Tomato that pays the most attention to the description of the period. The price is reasonable, the details are exquisite, and there are not too many top-notch ones. It seems like you are really living in that era, but the pace is a bit slower. There is not much emotional drama now. It can be read as a period novel ➕ farming novel
