Deephaven is a collection of short stories written by Sarah Orne Jewett, first published in 1877. The book is set in the fictional town of Deephaven, located on the coast of Maine, and follows the lives of its inhabitants. The stories are narrated by two young women, Kate Lancaster and Helen Denis, who have recently moved to Deephaven and are eager to explore the town and its surroundings.Through their interactions with various characters, Kate and Helen learn about the history and traditions of Deephaven, as well as the struggles and joys of its residents. The stories cover a wide range of topics, from fishing and farming to social gatherings and romantic relationships. They also touch on themes such as class, gender, and the changing nature of rural life in the late 19th century.Jewett's writing is known for its vivid descriptions of nature and its ability to capture the nuances of everyday life. Deephaven is no exception, as the author brings the town and its inhabitants to life through her rich prose and attention to detail. The book provides a glimpse into a bygone era and offers a valuable perspective on the complexities of small-town life.We knew that we were considered Miss Brandon's representatives in Deephaven society, and this was no slight responsibility, as she had received much honor and respect. We heard again and again what a loss she had been to the town, and we tried that summer to do nothing to lessen the family reputation and to give pleasure as well as take it, though we were singularly persistent in our pursuit of a good time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
