STOWE

Harriet Beecher

The Pearl of Orr’s Island, A Story of the Coast of Maine was first published in 1862 by Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Harriet Beecher Stowe is one of those authors who wrote numerous volumes, but struck it so big with one title that the others were forgotten. This 1862 novel follows a young girl's life on the raw New England coast populated by sea folk and her struggles to fit in. The rural tranquility of the lonely, pine-girthed shores of the Maine coast is the setting for this beautiful novel of conflicting aspirations written by one of the most prolific and influential writers in American history. Here is the heartwarming story of a young girl's struggle to belong and fit in, in the face of adversity, and of her upbringing among strong women, grumpy fishermen, annoying gossips, sea captains, and the dreamlike, tempestuous landscape of Orr's Island. THE PEARL OF ORR'S ISLAND is one of the forgotten -- but not lost -- masterpieces of American literature. It reflects Harriet Beecher Stowe's awareness of the complexity of small-town society, her commitment to realism, and her fluency in the local language.
