The book likely explores themes of social class, loyalty, and the complexities of personal relationships amid the evolving dynamics of a changing society. The opening portion sets the stage with vivid descriptions of Kennedy Square, revealing it as a vibrant, lively hub where various characters interact against the backdrop of nature's beauty. We meet Todd, a jovial young servant eagerly waiting for his master’s return from a hunting trip.
