By delving into the lives of ordinary people, Jewett reveals the beauty and complexity of the human experience. Sarah Orne Jewett’s own background as a New Englander and her deep connection to the landscape and culture of Maine undoubtedly influenced her creation of ‘The Country of the Pointed Firs.’ This book stands as a tribute to Jewett’s love for her homeland and her keen observation of human nature.
