Finished the novella “The Country of the Pointed Firs” by Sarah Orne Jewett. It was a lovely and heartfelt story of vignettes and adventures that capture the simple pleasures and intricate details of life in a small seafaring town in late 19th century Maine. Her writing betrays a deep affection for the land and the people.
