Originally published in 1877, the book demonstrates Jewett's astute observation of rural life and her talent for capturing the subtleties of interpersonal interactions. "Deephaven," a compilation of connected stories set in a fictional New England coastal hamlet, is the book's main attraction. Jewett creates a realistic picture of the people and dynamics of Deephaven through vivid and in-depth descriptions. The chosen tales and illustrations that Jewett created after "Deephaven" exhibit her talent for capturing the intricacies of human nature as well as the allure of small-town living. "Deephaven and Selected Stories and Sketches" is praised for its sensitive portrayals of human relationships, vivid portrayals of rural life, and late 19th-century contribution to American literary realism. The anthology is still a living example of Jewett's skill as a writer and her ability to convey the atmosphere of her day.
