Sarah Orne Jewett

Sarah Orne Jewett, full name Theodora Sarah Orne Jewett, is an American writer and poet.

Sarah attended Berwick Academy, but did most of her education on her own. She signed her first short stories "Alice Eliot." Her many late sketches of the New England town of Deephaven, reminiscent of South Berwick, were published in The Atlantic Monthly and collected in her first book, Deephaven (1877).

She wrote three novels and several books for children, and several collections of her poems were also published. Jewett's best book, The Land of Pointed Firs (1896), like Deephaven, tells of the isolation and loneliness of a decaying port town and the unique humor of its inhabitants. Her works are reminiscent of the novels of Gustave Flaubert, whose work she admired.
