| Summary | "Keziah Coffin" by Joseph Crosby Lincoln is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Mrs. Keziah Coffin, a seamstress living in the small, coastal village of Trumet, who is faced with the challenge of making a new life for herself after the death of her brother, Solomon. As Keziah prepares to leave her home for a job in Boston, she unexpectedly receives proposals — not just for her employment situation, but also in terms of her community and potential relationships, indicating a narrative that explores themes of independence, community expectations, and personal connections. The opening of the book introduces Keziah and her situation, set against a thick fog that sets a somber tone. We see her packing up her belongings and discussing gossip about a new minister, Reverend John Ellery, who is expected to join the parish. Throughout this, we are privy to her witty, practical perspective on life amid her struggles with financial instability. As the chapter unfolds, we are introduced to her friend Grace and various townsfolk, including Kyan Pepper, who awkwardly attempts to propose to her. By the end of the opening, the stage is set for Keziah to remain in Trumet and take on the role of housekeeper for the new minister, creating a scenario ripe for character development and exploration of village dynamics.
