Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers studying nineteenth-century American literature and New England local-color fiction
- Learners who wish to read a historical novel set in the American Revolutionary War in the original English
- Literature enthusiasts who have read other works by Jewett and want to explore her historical fiction
Not a good fit for
- General readers seeking a Chinese translation with annotations or an introduction
- Readers expecting fast-paced battle scenes or strongly plotted historical adventure
Reading tips
- First get a basic grasp of the Loyalist-Patriot divide during the American Revolutionary War, then enter the character relationships.
- Read alongside other Jewett works on New England themes to appreciate the continuity of her local-color style.
- For the English original, read one or two chapters a day and look up historical names and places as you go, so as not to break the rhythm.

About the author
Project Gutenberg is not a single author but a nonprofit digital library founded by Michael Hart in 1971 and one of the world's earliest free ebook platforms. It relies on volunteers to digitize, proofread, and freely distribute public-domain works and is now operated by the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Its collection contains 2,692 works, mainly religious texts, epics, and story collections, including the King James Bible and the Douay-Rheims volumes, the epic Mahabharata, a literal translation of the Arabian Nights, and Danish editions of the Old and New Testaments. Public information is limited, and its nature is closer to a public-interest compiling and dissemination body; these texts are open to the public, easy to consult and circulate, and have had a profound influence on the spread of ebooks and the preservation of public-domain resources.
