- Synopsis
- A dash of Emily Dickinson, an echo of Dorothy Wordsworth, and the intensely alternating emotions of adolescents everywhere--this is Linda Sutherland, and it is from her point of view that this New England family story unfolds. The background is New Hampshire and the action occurs in three little white-steepled towns where the Sutherlands live successively during the period when transportation was commonly by horse and buggy, when English classes were reading Palgrave's Golden Treasury, and when once, for a whole week in summer, Chautauqua was in town. It is a gentle story, with moments of heartbreak, of rapture, and of unworldly wisdom--the kind of wisdom that girls today really want most. "It is something in you that creates the beauty," Papa tells Linda, one lovely April morning, and it is this rare appreciation of "the things of the spirit" that sets this novel apart.
