| Summary | "Vesty of the Basins" by Sarah Pratt McLean Greene is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a small, coastal community and revolves around Vesty Kirtland, a young woman who plays a significant role in her community, dealing with themes of love, social class, and personal duty. The narrative captures the dynamics between the residents of the Basin and their attempts to navigate life in the face of external social pressures. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the quaint yet challenging life of the Basin's inhabitants on a Sunday afternoon. Vesty has an important social meeting to attend, during which the local people gather for worship, conversations, and camaraderie despite their humble circumstances. Through lively dialogues and introspective monologues, the narrator reflects on the characters, the weather, and the close-knit nature of the community, particularly highlighting Vesty's modesty and strength. As the story unfolds, it teases the interplay of a love interest with Notely Garrison, hinting at the complexities of their relationship amid societal expectations and personal desires.
