Excerpt from the opening lines “I had been spending the winter in Boston, and Kate Lancaster and I had been together a great deal, for we are the best of friends. It happened that the morning when this story begins I had waked up feeling sorry, and as if something dreadful were going to happen. There did not seem to be any good reason for it, so I undertook to discourage myself more by thinking that it would soon be time to leave town, and how much I should miss being with Kate and my other friends. My mind was still disquieted when I went down to breakfast; but beside my plate I found, with a hoped-for letter from my father, a note from Kate. To this day I have never known any explanation of that depression of my spirits, and I hope that the good luck which followed will help some reader to lose fear, and to smile at such shadows if any chance to come.”

Many of the "stories and sketches" in this collection have interesting premises, but "sketches" might be a better description, as more often than not the "end" of the story feels like "Where's the rest of it?" With some of the less interesting stories that's not a problem, but it was a real let-down for the more interesting ones. So though I might recommend this collection for a few brief looks at life in a time long gone, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who wants a story with a real beginning, middle and end.Product details

Deephaven and Selected Stories and Sketches Sarah Orne Jewett 9781530733767 Books Reviews
I was very disappointed in the quality of this book. I have never seen anything quite like it. The pages look as if they were typewritten manuscript. It is very difficult to read. The "search inside this book" actually takes you to another edition of the book where the pages have a normal printed appearance. I would not recommend this edition and would not have bought it had I known the quality of the book.
If you are familiar with the works of this well known poet, you will enjoy this book of short stories of early New England.
I love these stories. They are great, wonderful stories. I don't understand another reviewers complaint about the type and the incompleteness of the stories. These stories are perfectly complete, and the book is normal and navigates perfectly. Lovely stories. Highly recommend. Great price - Free!
