Marie Blythe (Hardscrabble Books-Fiction of New England)

Winner of the Vermont Arts Council Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts (2006)

Howard Frank Mosher is one of the best-loved writers of northern New England, one who has â€œcreated a literary landscape as textured as anything produced by the U. S. Geological Survey,â€ according to USA Today. His â€œgreatest gift,â€ says the Washington Post, is â€œhis talent for creating lively, living characters.â€ One of his most vivid and memorable characters is Marie Blythe.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, a young girl with a felicitous name immigrates to Vermont from French Canada. She grows up confronting the grim realities of life with an indomitable spiritâ€”nursing victims of a tuberculosis epidemic, enduring a miscarriage alone in the wilderness, and coping with the uncertainties of love. In Marie Blythe, Mosher has created a strong-minded, passionate, and truly memorable heroine.
