Summary: "Across the Mesa" by Jarvis Hall is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Polly Street, a young woman navigating her way through challenging emotional and geographical landscapes, as she departs from Chicago to visit her brother Bob in the small mining town of Athens, Mexico, shortly after his wedding. Polly's impulsive journey unfolds against the backdrop of a post-war America grappling with societal changes, personal disappointments, and the lure of adventure. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage for Polly's discontent and sense of urgency, particularly stemming from her brother's wedding, which she cannot attend due to family circumstances. After grappling with her feelings related to her recent breakup and watching her brother's life move on, Polly decides to visit him in Mexico. Her trip begins with her driving through wet, cold Chicago, and quickly shifts to her arrival in Athens, where she encounters a mix of characters and cultural dynamics. The narrative introduces her complicated relationship with her family and hints at the tensions surrounding the political climate in Mexico, foreshadowing the challenges she may face on her journey. Throughout, Polly’s adventurous spirit, combined with her naivety, suggests an exploration of independence and resilience as she embarks on this unexpected journey.
