| Summary | "A Lover in Homespun" by F. Clifford Smith is a collection of stories written in the late 19th century. The opening tale introduces Onesime Charest, a farmer in a small French-Canadian village, who is eagerly preparing for the return of his son, Zotique, from the United States. The book likely explores themes of family, community, and the intricacies of rural life, capturing both the joys and challenges of its characters as they navigate relationships and societal expectations. The beginning of the story unfolds on a beautiful evening as Onesime drives through his village, greeted warmly by locals excited for Zotique's return. The atmosphere is celebratory, with festivities planned to welcome the son back home, admired for his good looks and accomplishments. As guests gather, the tension subtly emerges through the interactions between Zotique, his brother Vital, and Katie White, a young woman who captures both brothers' affections. The opening sets up a dynamic exploration of sibling rivalry and unspoken feelings, hinting at the unfolding drama that will develop as the characters confront their emotions during a pivotal family reunion.
