Audio Reviews:

"Jewett's work is an American literary treasure; these excellently produced titles should be in every collection- they support Willa Cather's judgment of Jewett's work as "almost flawless". Insightful, actuely observant, sympathetic without being sentimental -highly recommended."
                     -Library Journal

"One cannot imagine a better beginning for the publisher's series, Voices: A Treasury of Regional American Fiction. Jewett's literary portrait of 18th century New England...is rich in details. Tracy Lord imbues Jewett's narrative with a quiet passion which perfectly complements the written style."
                     -AudioFile

"Listening to Jewett's precise portraits is like eavesdropping on strangers. The dialogue, conceived with a casual naturalness that is the mark of a truly adept writer, has not diminished since Jewett first wrote it."
                     -Boston Sunday Herald

SYNOPSIS:

Sarah Orne Jewett has a firm place in the literary annals of American fiction writers. Lauded by her peers, including Willa Cather, Rudyard Kipling and Henry James, her novel The Country of the Pointed Firs and her voluminous short stories, which celebrate life in New England's hinterlands and on its coast, have never been out of print. The Country of the Pointed Firs begins with a thumbnail sketch of the author.
