Deephaven
Sarah Orne Jewett (1849 - 1909)
Deephaven (1877) by Sarah Orne Jewett is a novel about two young women, Kate Lancaster and Helen Denis, who spend a summer in the fictional New England coastal town of Deephaven. The book is less plot-driven and more a series of sketches that explore the rhythms of small-town life, local traditions, and the quirks of its residents. Through the women's observations, Jewett paints a vivid portrait of rural New England, capturing its charm, sense of community, and the effects of time on its people. The novel is celebrated for its gentle, descriptive prose and its insight into the American rural experience.
