Slow Going

*SPOILERS*

I am about halfway through So Big by Edna Ferber. So far the book has taken a sad turn. Pervus (Selena's husband) has died, leaving her the farm and a son named Dirk. However, the farm is bad and does not produce any goods.

I was sad that Pervus died but I was also happy. Selena had many good ideas about the farm that would bring them more money and more goods but Pervus would always turn them down. Now that Pervus has died, Selena can use all her ideas to make the farm better. I think that I wasn't upset about Pervus dying because he wasn't in the book for very long, so I didn't become attached to the character.
