Summary "Strangers and Wayfarers" by Sarah Orne Jewett is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book captures the essence of life in New England, exploring the interactions and relationships of various characters, often reflecting on themes of community and human connection. The opening portion sets the tone for this exploration by focusing on relatable everyday scenarios and introducing readers to characters such as the timid mail driver Jefferson Briley and the widow Mrs. Fanny Tobin. The beginning of "Strangers and Wayfarers" transports readers to a cold winter day as Mr. Briley, who is a mail driver, carries a passenger, Mrs. Tobin, through desolate landscapes. The two characters engage in a warm, albeit awkward, conversation filled with reminiscence and shared experiences. Mrs. Tobin's longing for home and Briley's musings about potential adventures reveal their innermost desires and fears, setting the stage for deeper connections and developments as the story progresses. Through their dialogue, Jewett paints a vivid picture of rural life and the significance of human bonds, making the reader curious about the unfolding tales of other characters in the collection.
