About This Book

An Englishwoman writes lively letters during a transatlantic voyage and her ensuing stay in America, blending social comedy, personal memoir, and travel observation. She chronicles domestic life with her wounded husband, the introduction of a young, radiant American woman recently returned from a French convent, and the girl's devoted father. Interwoven are detailed, affectionate sketches of Northeastern landscapes and towns—Long Island villages, the Hudson valley, mountain passes and coastal scenes—paired with reflections on class, family romance, and the adjustments of transatlantic life.
