'Neighbors' Summary
The story of "Neighbors" unfolds in the quaint township of Innisfield, where the lives of its inhabitants intertwine amidst the backdrop of World War I. Mrs. Philura Pettibone, the central character, grapples with the complexities of wartime as she grapples with her pacifist beliefs and the patriotic fervor that sweeps through the community. The arrival of new residents, including immigrants from various nationalities, brings a fresh perspective to Innisfield, challenging long-held beliefs and fostering a sense of unity. However, as the war intensifies, the bonds of friendship and community are tested, forcing the characters to confront their own values and choices. Through its exploration of these themes, "Neighbors" offers a poignant and thought-provoking examination of the human experience during times of conflict.Book Details
