Tiverton has breezy upland roads and damp, sweet valleys, and its life happens in dooryards where washing, churning and quarrels spill out of doors. These linked stories follow its villagers, from Hannah Prime’s experience to the mortuary chest and a stolen festival, catching loneliness, devotion and Yankee pride with close-grained detail.
Local-colour fiction of rural New England that stands with Sarah Orne Jewett and Mary Wilkins Freeman. Download the free EPUB.
