About This Book

A group of young women travel from a riverside seminary into the countryside for a short holiday; among them a devoted student returns to see Eunice, who may be unwell, and reflects on duty and the work awaiting her. The narrative evokes the New England river and mountain landscape and the small station farewells, and recalls a seminary founded by a woman devoted to service. The story follows the young woman’s arrival home and the quiet tensions between personal plans, communal expectations, and moral obligation.
