{"product_id":"strangers-and-wayfarers-9781513279879","title":"Strangers and Wayfarers","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeaturing eleven short works of fiction, Sarah Orne Jewett’s \u003ci\u003eStrangers and Wayfarers\u003c\/i\u003e invokes sentiment and nostalgia. The opening story, \u003ci\u003eA Winter Courtship\u003c\/i\u003e, depicts the budding relationship between a wagon driver, Jefferson Briley, and a passenger, Fanny Tobin. Despite their opposing personalities, Fanny and Jefferson enjoy each other’s company as they transition from coy flirting to seriously considering if their unconventional pairing could function as a long-term relationship. As the winter month melts away in \u003ci\u003eThe Town Poor\u003c\/i\u003e, two ladies ride together in a horse-drawn carriage. As they take in the sight of the countryside, the two friends discuss the difficult winter that their hometown was just starting to overcome. While the inhabitants of this town struggled through the winter, few citizens were forced to overcome more obstacles than 19th century immigrants. This is portrayed in \u003ci\u003eThe Luck of the Bogans\u003c\/i\u003e, which follows a beloved Irish family as they migrate to America. Succeeding the theme of family, \u003ci\u003eFair Day\u003c\/i\u003e depicts an elderly woman as she spends the day alone after her son and his family go to the local fair, leaving her time for reflection. Born and raised in South Berwick, Maine, author Sarah Orne Jewett knew the New England area intimately, and translated her familiarity with the region to her masterful descriptive prose featured in each of her works of short fiction.

With themes of immigration, romance, family, and nostalgia, \u003ci\u003eStrangers and Wayfarers\u003c\/i\u003e continues to address relevant sentimentality in modern society, despite its original publication in 1890.
