Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Blueberry fields, but not forever, October 17, 2005 By  Carter Jefferson (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews It's not often one finds a passive character well enough portrayed to provoke interest. But Jeannette Angell's Carrie does more than that. She wanders through the blueberry fields of Maine's northern coast, she works in the local music and TV rental store, she quietly accepts her mother's constant harassment. Underneath, however, a fire is banked. Angell shows us the "summer people" through the eyes of a local, and they are not pretty--but they represent something that might, under just the right circumstances, provoke a quiet girl to action. Beautifully written, this is an unusually fine short story. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I grew up in Bali, and I can intimately relate to that (although unlike the story's narrator, Carrie Norman, I had no wish to escape-the surfing here was too good). Angell deftly brings alive the citizens and the landscape of Coldstream, Maine, and also Carrie's inner landscape, which is bigger than the outer. Highly recommended.

Carrie Normand has never known any other life, but the regular southern visitors with all their money and influence -- and Carrie's acute awareness that a better life exists -- underscores this beautifully written story about one young woman's deeply-rooted love for home despite her burning desire to break free. 'Summer People' leaves the reader feeling as if they're standing once again on the grounds of the old homeplace, listening as the present calls while yearning for a time now keenly shaped at its best by wishful memory. A truly magnificent read. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

This is a great little short story. For me it was a different point of view coming from the people who actually live all year in the vacation destinations we visit.
