Description

In a snowbound New England village, Madelon Hautville is caught between Burr Gordon and Dorothy Fair as desire clashes with family pressure and winter hardship. Spoken as when music still answers what pride and longing will not say aloud.

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.
