뾰족한 전나무의 땅

The coastal Maine backdrop feels almost like a character itself. I wonder how much of the setting was inspired by real places and how it shapes the story's tone.

The small-town interactions felt so authentic, but I was curious whether Jewett intended to show how relationships evolve in close-knit communities.

The episodic structure gives a gentle rhythm to the narrative. I'm interested in whether this approach was planned from the start or developed during writing.
