The Country of the Pointed Firs
Sarah Orne Jewett
Chronicling the events, the people and the relationships woven, especially among the women, in the coastal town of Dunnet Landing, Maine, Jewett provides the modern reader with a window into a time past—where life was much more simple but in many ways just as complex.
