A review by fourstringspark
The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett

5.0

A slow-moving character study more than a novel. (It's actually short enough to be considered a novella.) No real plot to speak of -- just keen observations of the inhabitants of a small Maine fishing village at the turn of the last century. It's a feast for introverts who remain silent and let others reveal themselves by their conversation.
