Description

Solitary New Englander Eudora Yates feels old love stir when Harry Lawton returns, just as gossip swirls around her decision to adopt a child. Pride, duty, and desire press her toward love, motherhood, and a reckoning with the past. Spoken as when Yates pride still asks what dignity will allow the heart to keep.

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.
