Beschreibung

Set in a small, coastal town in Maine, this enduring sequence of intimate stories has assumed its rightful place in the pantheon of American classics. A series of small, beautifully rendered sketches as a sustained narrative, perfectly evoking the inexorable decline of coastal New England after the Civil War.

Portrait

Sarah Orne Jewett was a 19th century master of sympathetic but unsentimental portraits of provincial life in Maine. She attained a naturalism, precision, and compactness in her writing that continues to enchant and move readers who discover her books.
