I just read _THe Country of Pointed Firs_ last year and _Country Doctor_ last month with a Yahoo discussion group.<br /><br />I also just found _The Best Stories Of Sarah Orne Jewett_ (a print copy), so I'm looking forward to seeing what her short stories are like.

There are echoes of AOGG in this book although there's a lot less time spent on Nan's childhood. It's also less sentimental although I'm basing that on only having read a couple of the Anne books. Similar sense of place though.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-84844487339129030012016-06-10T07:42:13.414+10:002016-06-10T07:42:13.414+10:00I finally read The Country of the Pointed Firs thi...I finally read The Country of the Pointed Firs this year for Reading New England and became interested to find more of Jewett's work. This sounds like a good candidate for my next read.

I'm excited to read Jewett for sure after this review and will probably need to get my hands on as many of her books as I can. This one sounds slightly reminiscent of Anne of Green Gables.Peggy Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426356514707257708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-21003578002005958172016-06-09T15:13:12.140+10:002016-06-09T15:13:12.140+10:00Thanks Lark, I hope you enjoy it.Thanks Lark, I hope you enjoy it.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-32249192128996328712016-06-09T09:55:47.624+10:002016-06-09T09:55:47.624+10:00I love these kinds of books.
