In the village of Tiverton, remembered by those who were born there, Alice Brown follows the red schoolhouse of District Number Five, a farmer who finally takes a vacation, the inmates of the poorhouse telling their stories, and Caleb’s stubborn, tongue-tied devotion to Amanda. Her characters speak in plain country dialect and reveal deep feeling.
