Recommended to me by my daughter, this book is just a literary masterpiece. I will never know why I had to read Ivanhoe in high school instead of something like this. I never knew this author existed. Jewett's use of language just sets a standard few authors have ever mastered. I just loved it.

I completely agree. I read this maybe thirty years ago and am 're-reading it now. I am amazed at Jewett's skill and her ability to bring this place and these people so wonderfully to life.
