Summary: "Deficient Saints: A Tale of Maine" by Marshall Saunders is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the quaint town of Rossignol, Maine, the story revolves around Mrs. Hippolyta Prymmer, a somewhat eccentric widow obsessively maintaining a 'death-book' that catalogs deceased acquaintances. As she navigates her life among other townsfolk, including her newly-returned son Justin and his unexpected wife Derrice, the narrative explores themes of family, societal expectations, and the peculiarities of life in a close-knit community. The beginning of the story introduces Mrs. Prymmer engrossed in her death-book as she muses about her past marriages. We learn about her son, Justin, who surprises her by returning home with his new wife, Derrice, causing considerable upheaval in her life. Their interactions highlight the generational and ideological clash between Mrs. Prymmer and her modern daughter-in-law, who represents a break from traditional expectations. The opener sets a comedic yet poignant tone, drawing readers into the dynamics of family relationships while hinting at the complexities and challenges ahead.
