The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories
Sarah Orne Jewett
Composed in a series of web-like sketches, this novel is narrated by a young woman writer who leaves the city to work one summer in the Maine seaport of Dunnet Landing. She writes a New England idyll rooted in friendship, weaving stories and conversations, the tang of salt air and aromatic herbs into an organic 'fiction of community'.
