Excerpt from :

...... Jewett is most famous for her humble and country style novels and short stories. Within works such as Country of the Pointed Furs and the short story The White Heron, Jewett constantly returned to her roots within the natural setting of New England to portray her literary image of the world, One can never be so certain of a good New England weather as in the days when a long easterly storm has blown away the warm late-summer mists, and cooled the air so that however bright the sunshine is by day, the nights come nearer and nearer to frostiness, (Jewett 198). As a New Englander, she was an expertise at writing about New England and the simple country life which existed there during that time. Her works center on country New England life as seen from the eyes of an intelligent female. The Country of the Pointed Furs presents a seemingly impenetrable network of friends and neighbors. Within this environment, it is obvious one must find ways to enter into the social atmosphere. It is with the character of the young writer which is allowed to penetrate into the social world and discover the towns secrets and grudges.
