This charming novel, set on a southwestern Maine island amid the salt marshes, focuses on the conflict between two young suitors—one from the city and one from the country—who fall in love with the same farmer’s daughter. A pleasant romance, A Marsh Island is also brimming with evocative descriptions of the landscape’s rugged beauty, for which Jewett is renowned.
