What is the author's style in The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett?

The Country of the Pointed Firs is narrated in the first-person, meaning that the narrator is a character in the story and that the perspective she presents to the reader is limited to her own personal observations. The narrator is not named at any point in the book, and little direct information about her is provided.

Throughout the narrative of The Country of the Pointed Firs, Jewett employs a literary device known as an embedded narrative or story-withinthe- story. Her use of local dialect is characteristic of the fiction of "local color" writers of the nineteenth century, and Jewett has often been praised for her use of local Maine dialect in her stories and novels.
