In luminous evocations of their lives, Maine-born Sarah Orne Jewett created startlingly vivd portraits of individual New Englanders, and a warm, humorous, and compassionate vision of the New England character. Jewett possessed a keen descriptive gift that William Dean Howells called "an uncommon feeling for talk — I hear your people."
