This superlative work by Sarah Orne Jewett, a late 19th century writer, shows great literary skill, artistry and charm. The Country of the Pointed Firs depicts the close personal and family relationships in a small New England village. In its appreciation of the natural beauty and restorative powers of a small community, it is similar to Thoreau's Walden.

Ahead of its time with an important social message, and written in the careful prose that marked 19th century literature, The Country of the Pointed Firs is an exciting and memorable narrative creation.

Reseñas editoriales

Cindy Hardin Killavey uses an alert and welcoming tone in her performance of Sarah Orne Jewett’s The Country of the Pointed Firs, which Henry James described as a "beautiful little quantum of achievement".

Jewett’s 1896 novella takes place in a Maine fishing village named Dunnet Landing. The story’s narrator has returned to the fishing village after getting to know it a few years earlier and finds a place to stay with a feisty widow, Mrs. Todd. As she spends time in Dunnet, she gets to know other local characters, like the aging seaman, Captain Littlemore, and Mrs. Todd’s shy, eccentric brother, William.

Killavey’s inflections change to accommodate the regional dialect employed in Jewett’s loving evocation of coastal Maine.

A beautifully written book; the reader accurately captures the essence of a Maine accent, enhancing the reading experience considerably.

The very best of American regionalism

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was such a delight. The narrator was very good. She really caught the down home Maine atmosphere in her voice. The author has a knack for writing great descriptions with a minimum of words. You close your eyes and you are right there in the small village on the rocky Maine coast. No wonder its a classic.I liked it so much that I have suggested this book to my book group.

Unexpected Delight !

Her voice is so soothing and her many accents make me feel like I actually know the characters.. It’s turned into an every night routine 😊

“The novella opens with a nameless female narrator describing Dunnet’s Landing, an idyllic coastal village in eastern Maine and a place that she always dreamed of moving to in her retirement years to escape the bustle of city life and to be able to carve out time and space to complete her writing projects. “ the characters she describes are brought to life by her talented voice

Love this- I play it on 75 and fall asleep to it every night 😴
