Carla Foust and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Joking Apart" by Mrs. Dowdall is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative features Martha, who reflects humorously on domestic life and the complexities of human relationships, particularly through her interactions with her Aunt Mary and various characters from her surroundings. Through wit and a critical lens, the novel dives into the absurdities and nuances of living in a society defined by its social norms and expectations. The opening of the novel introduces Martha as she engages in a self-reflective conversation with her Aunt Mary about the clarity of her writing and the challenges of capturing the essence of life in her work. There is a distinct style, with Martha's perspective on everyday situations and characters providing a humorous and insightful critique of societal conventions. This dialogue not only sets the tone for the novel but also establishes the relationship dynamics and character traits that will likely evolve throughout the story. The humorous criticism Martha faces from her aunt serves to introduce the reader to her character's voice and attitude toward life’s superficialities and unclarities.
