The story is set in a small town in New England and follows the lives of the three generations of women in the Winslow family. The matriarch of the family is Hannah Winslow, a strong-willed and independent woman who runs the family farm. Her daughter, Mary, is a widow who struggles to find her place in the world after the death of her husband. Mary's daughter, Sarah, is a young woman who is torn between her desire for independence and her love for her family.As the story unfolds, the Winslow women must confront their past and present struggles, including family secrets, illness, and the challenges of running a farm in a changing world. Along the way, they find support and strength in each other, as well as unexpected sources of love and companionship.Meadow Grass is a poignant and beautifully written novel that explores the complexities of family relationships and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a timeless story that will resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds.It was half-past nine of a radiant winter's night, and the Widder Poll's tooth still ached, though she was chewing cloves, and had applied a cracker poultice to her cheek. She was walking back and forth through the great low-studded kitchen, where uncouth shadows lurked and brooded, still showing themselves ready to leap aloft with any slightest motion of the flames that lived behind the old black fire-dogs. At every trip across the room, she stopped to look from the window into the silver paradise without, and at every glance she groaned, as if groaning were a duty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
