Description

Jewett’s masterpiece depicts the close personal and family relation-ships in a Maine seaport town during the era of its decay from the grandeur of West Indian trading days. Jewett’s precise, alluringly subdued sketches of the gently perishing glory of the Maine countryside and ports have placed her at the top of the class among the school of writers who count local color as a chief literary objective.
