I was further delighted by Miss Julia's inner conflicts and ultimate transformation, as she struggled with the emotions raised by the undeniable proof of her husband's loveless nature, attempted exploitation by people purporting to care for her, and introduction of strangers into her family life. Miss Julia has a lot to say and every word is a bell ringer, even if you don't necessarily agree with her on every point.bless her heart. And, throughout the book, she speaks her mind, offering wry, witty, piercing observations about human nature, life and hypocrisy. Having lived the stereotypically dependent, Southern church woman's life to this point in her 60s, Miss Julia is slowly transformed into a strong, sassy, Southern woman by dramatic and sometimes comical circumstances outside her control. When Miss Julia's husband dies unexpectedly, Miss Julia's sterile-on multiple levels-marriage ends and life as she never imagined begins. Enjoyable, light fiction, set in NC, I liked Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind.
