The Road From Belhaven by Margot Livesey

This book is so similar to Anne's world, taking place instead near Glasgow, Scotland. If you read all you can of Anne, try this title, which includes smart details about milking cows, raising hens, wood stoves in the kitchen, and the daily joys and struggles of life on the farm. The main character grows up and becomes a mother quickly in a well-researched and rich environment.
