Few American novels have the fullness and real understanding that are part of this novel. It is the story of a Connecticut town and the people who live there, chief among whom is the town doctor. In the doctor are centred all the threads of dramatic interest, the relations of friends and enemy, proud with poor, and old-time New England folk with the late-comers and outsiders; and through the doctor's actions which carry the story along with steadily increasing interest, the life of the whole community is revealed as well as the individual lives that give the town its many-sided, moving, but unchanging character.
