New Hampshire is a small but historically rich state located in the New England region of the United States. It holds a significant place in American history, being one of the original 13 colonies and the first to declare its independence from England in 1776.

Known for its rugged landscapes, it features the White Mountains, including the iconic Mount Washington, the highest peak in northeastern U.S. The state boasts four distinct seasons, offering outdoor activities like skiing, hiking, and boating.

It is also renowned for its political influence due to the first-in-the-nation primary during presidential elections. With no state sales or income tax, it attracts residents who enjoy its mix of natural beauty and tax-friendly policies.

We’re presenting a selection of sapphic books set in New Hampshire, but you are not obligated to read one of the titles below. Find any sapphic book set in New Hampshire. Read it. Submit a form to enter to win a $75 Amazon gift card.
