Description

Madelon Hautville, a young woman in a snowbound New England village, is caught in a passionate love triangle with Burr Gordon and Dorothy Fair. As family expectations and societal pressures clash with desire, her music and emotions reveal inner conflicts. The opening introduces the village, simmering tensions, and Madelon’s struggles, setting the stage for a story of love, betrayal, and personal ambition against a harsh winter landscape.

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.
