Description

Rebecca Flint comes to Ford Village for niece Agnes and meets unsettling Mrs Dent, as Freeman's New England ghost tales braid fear, secrecy, and the uncanny into ordinary rooms. Spoken as when a rose-bush still answers with a wind that should not speak.

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.
