Deephaven And Selected Stories And Sketches

By: Sarah Orne Jewett

American writer Sarah Orne Jewett's compilation of works is titled "Deephaven and Selected Stories and Sketches." Originally published in 1877, the book demonstrates Jewett's astute observation of rural life and her talent for capturing the subtleties of interpersonal interactions. "Deephaven," a compilation of connected stories set in a fictional New England coastal hamlet, is the book's main attraction. Jewett creates a realistic picture of the people and dynamics of Deephaven through vivid and in-depth descriptions. The chosen tales and illustrations that Jewett created after "Deephaven" exhibit her talent for capturing the intricacies of human nature as well as the allure of small-town living. "Deephaven and Selected Stories and Sketches" is praised for its sensitive portrayals of human relationships, vivid portrayals of rural life, and late 19th-century contribution to American literary realism. The anthology is still a living example of Jewett's skill as a writer and her ability to convey the atmosphere of her day.
