Set in rural New England, these stories follow solitary characters navigating loneliness and unexpected encounters. A widow confronts her lost lover returned as an unrecognizing beggar. A woman's brother befriends a man haunted by wartime ghosts. An elderly woman's chance train ride leads to surprising connections. Through these tales, Jewett explores isolation, memory, and the peculiar ways lives intersect in small-town America. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
