Publisher Description

This collection of stories offers a richly detailed portrait of a seaport on the Maine coast as seen through the eyes of a summer visitor. Against evocative imagery of the sky, the sea, and the earth itself, Jewett celebrates the friendships shared by the town's women, capturing the spirit of community that sustains the declining town.

The Country of the Pointed Firs

First and foremost, I loved the way the author turned a phrase. Her characters came alive before my eyes. I was sad to leave Dunnet Landing.
