"Cape Cod Folks" by Sarah Pratt McLean Greene is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young teacher, who journeys to the small and somewhat isolated community of Wallencamp on Cape Cod to fulfill a mission of education and personal discovery. Through her experiences, the book explores themes of community, the challenges of teaching, and the dynamics present in a rural setting. The opening of the narrative introduces Aunt Sibylla, a passionate and authoritative figure in Wallencamp, who delivers an emotionally charged speech about the precariousness of life on the Cape, setting an atmosphere steeped in urgency and foreboding. It also introduces the young protagonist, who arrives from a comfortable background, yet seeks to redefine herself through teaching. As she navigates her first night in Wallencamp, filled with peculiar encounters and a mix of anxiety and anticipation, we witness her initial impressions of the quirky local inhabitants, including the warm-hearted Keeler family. This blend of humor, pathos, and local color is likely indicative of Greene's narrative style throughout the book, promising a thoughtful exploration of her character's evolving relationships within the community.
