This is a 1909 romance novel about the educated minister's son and the poor fisherman's daughter. I am confused about the girl's speech, because I didn't recognize it. The story takes place in Ithaca, New York, so it just must be a fisherman's brogue. I read that this book was made into a silent movie in 1914 starring Mary Pickford. I can't really recommend this book; it's just so predictable and boring. (Serial Reader)
There are a few words and sayings from a century ago that you'll quickly get the hang of, and you'll also discover that it's worth it. This old novel still works today!! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Be sure and watch Mary Pickford's silent movie after you read it.

Review pulled from Goodreads:
"Published in 1909, this classic romance is set in Ithaca, New York. Living in a squatters shanty, shunned by the upstanding folk of Ithaca, Tessibel is nonetheless shocked when her father, a fisherman, is accused of murder. Barefoot, beautiful, and innocent, Tess sets out to clear his name. Along the way, she meet a Cornell man.
Tess lives in a rotting shanty surrounded by fish bones. Her education is minimal. Her best friend is a toad. How can she compare with the brainy beauties he squires around?
There is a sequel, The Secrets of the Storm Country."
"Sequel to Tess of the Storm Country. Equal in quality and enjoyment"… (meer)
