A Few Neighbors is a novel written by Henry A. Shute and first published in 1906. The story is set in a small New England town and follows the lives of a group of neighbors who live on the same street. The main character is a young woman named Mary-'Gusta, who is described as being plain and practical but also kind-hearted and determined. She lives with her mother and father, who are struggling to make ends meet. The novel explores the relationships between the various neighbors, including a wealthy widow, a retired sea captain, a young couple just starting out, and an eccentric old man who keeps a menagerie of animals. The characters are all connected in different ways, and their lives intersect in unexpected and sometimes humorous ways. Throughout the book, Shute examines themes of community, family, and class, and he portrays the struggles and joys of everyday life in a small town. The writing style is straightforward and unpretentious, with a focus on character and dialogue rather than plot. Overall, A Few Neighbors is a charming and nostalgic look at a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring power of human connection.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
