Description

Jane Field follows Mrs. Jane Field and Amanda Pratt as they navigate family obligations, social expectations, and rural community life. The story opens in Amanda’s cottage, where her careful routines and interactions reveal her character and foreshadow the struggles ahead. Freeman examines resilience, loneliness, and moral courage, portraying the quiet tensions and personal trials that shape women’s lives in a small New England village.

Author

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852–1930) grew up in Randolph, Massachusetts, and wrote the New England village as if every parlour were a theatre of will. A New England Nun is the famous short weather of a woman who will not be hurried into marriage; Pembroke is the same climate at novel length — pride, church, and a stubbornness that can freeze a town. She later took the Howells Medal. The regional is never small in her hands. Thrift has a pulse.
