Description
Jane Field appeared from Harper with pictures, signed by Mary Wilkins. Chapter one settles readers in Amanda Pratt's cottage, raised on banks above the road. Great pink-lined shells flank the doorstep, and smaller shells line the path.
Amanda rents half her house to Mrs. Jane Field, the widow at the story's heart. Two old neighbors sit at the front windows over needlework as the tale begins. Jane, poor and proud, fights to keep her dignity and her daughter in a judging world. Freeman writes with pity for her heroine and no mercy for smug folk who fail her, in one of her best novels.
