A writer travels to a fishing village to complete her book and
becomes close friends with many residents including her popular
housemate, Mrs. Almira Todd. Throughout her stay, the writer is
inundated with personal stories from her colorful neighbors. In The
Country of the Pointed Firs, a Boston native travels to a small
Maine town called Dunnet Landing. She finds room and board with an
older woman named Almira Todd, a widow and local herbalist. During
her stay, the visitor develops a close friendship with Mrs. Todd.
She also lends an ear to the many residents she encounters
throughout the village. This book is full of personal anecdotes
ranging from the exciting to the mundane. It's a series of powerful
sketches connected by a compelling voice and overarching narrative.
Similar to Jewett's other works, The Country of the Pointed Firs
delivers a slice of New England life. The story is set in a
fictional town, but populated by relatable yet unforgettable
characters. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of The Country of the Pointed Firs
is both modern and readable.
