Negative Positive
Title: Too many descriptions
Review: The story was okay, but it kept getting slowed down by overly-detailed descriptions of the household tasks. For example, when Julie did the laundry it went on-and-on-and-on about gathering the clothes, fetching the water, boiling the water, shaving the soap, stirring the clothes, etc. Then the details of butchering the hog went on for pages. It was 100 years ago, so I didn't expect her to have Whirlpool appliances. But I was getting exhausted, having to do all of that housework with her.
