Book Synopsis

Considered Sarah Orne Jewett''s best work, The Country of the Pointed Firs tells the story of a Boston writer who comes to the Maine seacoast town of Dunnett Landing to finish her book. Instead of finding peace to write, however, she is drawn into a community shaped by long Maine winters, rock, and cold saltwater. This quiet tale of small-town American life captures the inspiration of honest friendships, family, and community.

This Maine Standard edition includes four short stories that Jewett wrote as sequels to Country of the Pointed Firs.
