Project Gutenberg 2008-07-11 Public domain in the USA. 764 Jewett, Sarah Orne 1849 1909 The Country of the Pointed Firs Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Country_of_the_Pointed_Firs Produced by Judith Boss, and David Widger "The Country of the Pointed Firs" by Sarah Orne Jewett is a novel loosely structured as a series of sketches, written in the late 19th century. The narrative takes place in the quaint fishing village of Dunnet Landing, Maine, and centers around the experiences and observations of the unnamed narrator, who develops a deep connection to the community and its inhabitants. The opening of the novel introduces the setting of Dunnet Landing, a picturesque coastal town, and the narrator's return to the place that has enchanted her before. She reveals her affection for the unchanging beauty and mysteries of the village, as well as her tender interactions with Mrs. Almira Todd, a local herbalist known for her peculiar garden and remedies. Through her visits and conversations with Mrs. Todd, the narrator learns not only about the town's traditions and characters but also about the themes of isolation, memory, and the passage of time. As these relationships unfold, the reader begins to see how the stories of the villagers are tied to the landscape and the cycles of life along the coast, setting the stage for deeper explorations of their lives in the pages to come.
