The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett
"The Country of the Pointed Firs" by Sarah Orne Jewett is a novel published in 1896. A Boston writer retreats to the small coastal town of Dunnet, Maine, seeking solitude to finish her book. Boarding with the local herbalist Almira Todd, she becomes drawn into the lives of townspeople—eccentric sea captains, reclusive hermits, and gentle fishermen. Through summer visits and storytelling, she discovers the profound depths hidden beneath the surface of this
quiet maritime community, forming bonds that transform her understanding of home and belonging. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
