- Review: This is a collection of precious gems, short stories which illuminate the character of the classic New England elderly lady. Ever concerned about her image within her community, avoiding growing old, facing death, and keenly observing those around her. The stories fit a stereotype which may well have been fairly accurate in its day, and some of which may still hold true. Jewett writes superbly and has a subtle touch in her caricatures. Very nice.
