I picked up The Country of the Pointed Firs again and am reading some of Sarah Orne Jewett’s shorter stories. Here’s a line from THE GUESTS OF MRS. TIMMS I thought you might enjoy.
“She was a straight, flat little person, as if, when not in use, she kept herself, silk dress and all, between the leaves of a book.”
That line! I love it so much. There is absolutely no question that I would have underlined it had I come across it. Thank you for sharing it! Now I'm intrigued by her short stories!
I got to meet Amy tonight! She and I have a mutual writing friend. I told her I’ve been seeing her pop up everywhere—including your newsletter! She’s just as vibrant and funny as she seems here. I can’t wait to read her book!
It’s been fun to connect with Emily and that gang but I’m sad you’re not here. I love the hotel. It’s not fancy, but it’s hip and historic. I am really loving wandering DTLA and seeing all the history. I went to college in LA, but never spent time downtown. There’s a there there!
Loved this interview!! “I’m forty, you elderly bitch,” made me buy the book!
It's a winning line! You will love this book!
I used your link to buy the book. The courage of this author is good medicine for me right now. Thank you!
Amazing, thank you! I hope you love it! Her courage is definitely inspiring. Sending courage your way! ✨
Incredible interview. Adding this to my list!
She was such a fun person to chat with! Let me know what you think after you read. Thanks Olivia!

Oh how fun! She is lovely!
How's it going? Any highlights? How's the hotel?! It sounded so great and it was hard for me to cancel my reservation, ugh.

It sounds so fun! I’m glad you and Emily and everyone else get to be together. Say hello for me please! ❤️
And I would have been braver and gone to the rooftop pool if you were here 😎
Thank you for this, Kolina! I loved chatting so much! ❤️
SAME! So fun. And we hardly touched in MPLS!
I know! 😅
