Helpful Score: 3

I enjoyed the contrasts in this book. When things go wrong Julie keeps on working to make the most of every situation to manage their life and make it better. When very low on food, she receives a gift of jam from a visiting neighbor. You can almost taste it as she devours the whole jar! There are subtle and romantic moments that add to the story. Every basic thing, food, clothing, friendship, and any tiny luxury is so appreciated by Julie. This is a compelling view if the way life was and is very different from today.
