A Chance Acquaintance by William Dean HowellsRare Antique 1st Edition
Derek Davis rated it 4 of 5 stars
Though not as \"complete\" or involved as Howell\'s more famous \"The Rise of Silas Lapham,\" it\'s as solid in portrayal of character, though far thinner in plot. A short novel, it would probably be trimmed down to a novelette in today\'s world, for it\'s the simple story of a small-town upper NY state girl on holiday in Quebec with her aunt and uncle. She meets a fairly narrow-minded Boston gentleman under slightly odd circumstances and finds herself slowly pulled into his orbit, leading to an attachment both predictable and unpredictable. I never could like the guy, though. He needed a good toe up the rump.
