Jewett's first novel, chronicling the life of a young woman who feels called to medicine instead of marriage. Largely autobiographical, I would imagine, as Jewett chose a writing career over a traditional path. Thoughtful and aware, it's a slow, comfortable read perfect for cozy days.

Sarah Orne Jewett messing with expected Victorian Gender Roles is always just the best thing.
