With eleven short stories, Sarah Orne Jewett's The Life of Nancy is
a serene and heart-touching collection of 19th century fiction. In
A War Debt, Tom Burton finds himself stuck in Boston, as he is the
primary caretaker of his grandmother. Though he has long given up
the dream of a vacation, he is forced to a long trip to Virgina
when his grandmother admits guilt over possessing an item stolen
during the war, and is desperate for it to be returned to its
owner. In A Second Spring a grieving farmer must adjust to his new
life after the passing of his wife of forty years. Depicting a
widow who has already made peace with her predicament, My Sad
Captains follows the exciting love life of a woman that has won the
attention of three fishing boat captains. Finally, the title story,
The Life of Nancy follows a serendipitous relationship that is
forged between Tom and Nancy after Tom is stranded with her family.
When Tom's friend suffers an injury during their vacation, the two
are unable to travel, and are forced to find somewhere to stay.
Though it was originally out of desperation, Tom grows to enjoy his
time staying with Nacy's family on the Maine island. Still, he must
leave after his friend heals and is sad to say goodbye to Nancy.
However, as the two grow older, they find that their paths cross
more than expected, and their bond stands the test of time. With
stories of romance, mourning, and new beginnings, The Life of Nancy
is a sentimental collection filled with masterful descriptions of
its settings and characters. Featuring themes of nostalgia and
tradition, this Sarah Orne Jewett collection is emotional and
beautiful, sure to resonate with readers even over a century after
its original publication. This edition of The Life of Nancy by
Sarah Orne Jewett features an eye-catching new cover design and is
presented in a font that is both modern and readable. With these
accommodations, this edition is accessible and appealing to
contemporary audiences, restoring The Life of Nancy to modern
standards while preserving the original tranquility and beauty of
Sarah Orne Jewett's work.
