A woman visits the town of Dunnet Landing, Maine for several summers. Her landlord makes sure she becomes familiar with all of the residents of the town. This little book is a collection of stories of the characters the woman meets and comes to know.
This is a beautifully written book, a quiet book, a small book, a book that feels so true that I have the feeling that this is exactly what Dunnet Landing, Maine was like at the turn of the twentieth century.

Still reading this, enjoying it very much. I actually can't wait to pass it on to a couple of other people. It kind of reminds me of Dante's inferno, but instead of Virgil, there is Mrs. Todd. And instead of flames there are tall cool spruce beers. Quite lovely.
