Frank’s girlfriend, whom he lives with. Julia used to be Frank’s student, and she admires him greatly. She now teaches at the university, though she never meets Rita.

It’s no surprise, then, that she decides to not accompany him to Australia when the university finally forces him to go on sabbatical because of his troublesome drinking habits.
