Produced by David Widger "Our Square and the People in It" by Samuel Hopkins Adams is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a tight-knit community living in a neglected green space amidst the struggles of the surrounding urban slums. Central to the narrative are the characters Cyrus the Gaunt, an outsider, and the Bonnie Lassie, a sculptor whose presence transforms their world, as she inspires connections among the residents of "Our Square." At the start of the book, we are introduced to Our Square, a small park overlooked by the bustling city of New York. The opening chapters establish a rich tapestry of life within the square, highlighting its inhabitants, including the mysterious and melancholy figure of Cyrus and the captivating Bonnie Lassie. Their initial meeting, facilitated by a local policeman, sets the stage for a developing relationship marked by curiosity and humor. As the Bonnie Lassie takes an interest in Cyrus, offering him a chance to model for her sculptures, the community begins to shift due to their interactions, illuminating themes of ambition, connection, and the impact of love and art in the lives of those who live within the square.
