Synopsis: A Marsh Island (1885) by Sarah Orne Jewett is a a gentle yet vivid tale of life in a small New England coastal community.

Told through rich, naturalistic detail, the novel follows the intertwined lives of islanders who live in harmony with the rhythms of nature, exploring themes of queerness, friendship, tradition, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.

"A warm draft of kindness billows from A Marsh Island... Discerning, tender and pellucid in its beauty, this is the kind of small, perfect novel it is hard to imagine anybody not loving." --Sam Sacks, WSJ
