Our fascination with place, with traditional values, and our yearning for a rural utopia all find fulfillment in Jewett's portrayal of the \"grand and simple lives\" of coastal Maine. In this delicious portrait, Paula Blanchard (biographer of Margaret Fuller and Emily Carr) plunges us into New England literary life in turn-of-the-century Boston, into the circles of Henry James, Lowell, Howell, Whittier, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. She delves into Jewett's close friendships with women, from the young Willa Cather and the flamboyant \"Mrs. Jack\" Gardner, and especially to Annie Fields, her partner in a sustaining \"Boston marriage.\" Her enthralling and insightful glimpses into Jewett's fiction will send readers racing back to a writer of whose work Kipling said \"it is the very life.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaula Blanchard\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of two highly acclaimed biographies: \u003ci\u003eMargaret Fuller: From Transcendentalism to Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Emily Carr\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a selection of the Canadian Book of the Month Club and won the University of British Columbia's Award for Canadian Biography.
