Evaluate Of Books Joy in the Morning

Betty Smith is my writing queen. Such a fabulous book - Smith tells a simple, believable story. It's great because of how unembellished it is. The book is a story of a young married couple who struggles with finances (is there any other kind?) living in the American Midwest during the late 1920s. Carl is a young man of twenty training to be a lawyer, and Annie is his eighteen year old bride. Like all of Smith's books, the story doesn't have much of a concrete plot - it flows along gently with

Here I am reading this book again. I love this book, but, it's interesting to learn so much about 1928. The money, for one thing gets a bit confusing as you could get so much more with 1 dollar back then than now. The frustrating thing is how few choices a woman had back then. Annie's main purpose was to get married and have babies even though she was somewhat smarter than her husband who would become a lawyer. Sometimes Carl would get so mad at her when she just wanted to do her own thing and

There was something so very special about this book to me. I wanted to read this one by Betty Smith because I liked "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" so much and I was also looking for a little nostalgia.Boy did I get nostalgia with this book. I love stories from the early 20th Century. We tend to romanticize that period of American History. I do anyway. There's something about the struggles and the ethics of those times that we refer to as "simpler". I guess they were simple, yet I don't think people

I can't believe the same author, who penned one of my favorite books, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, wrote this rubbish. While I quite enjoy Historical Fiction, this book was just so dated that the storyline, if that's what you'd call it, was laughable. The book started out sweetly enough, with the main characters, Carl and Annie, just getting married, struggling to "live" on the meager paycheck that Carl brings home. Then Carl starts becoming way too domineering, Annie pouts and cries, Carl



I read this charming romance/drama as a teenager, in the eighties . . . many, many, times, over and over I checked it out from my high school library. (Go Yukon Millers!) Each read through, I fell in love with "love" in a most profound way - well, as profound as one can manage at sixteen. Happily ever after was plausible, but you had to go through a whole heap of struggles. Sweet memories. Perhaps I'll find a copy and re-read it, to see if my ideas of love and struggle have changed over the past

Where have you been all my life?
