Cambridge Neighbors is a novel written by William Dean Howells. The story is set in the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and focuses on the lives of a group of middle-class families who live in the same neighborhood. The novel explores the relationships between these families, their interactions with each other, and the challenges they face in their daily lives.The main character of the novel is Mr. Plant, a successful businessman who has recently moved to Cambridge with his family. Mr. Plant is a kind and generous man who is well-liked by his neighbors. He becomes involved in the lives of several families in the neighborhood, including the Hallecks, the Minors, and the Dryfooses.The Hallecks are a family of intellectuals who are struggling to make ends meet. The father, Professor Halleck, is a scholar who is more interested in his research than in his family. The mother, Mrs. Halleck, is a frustrated artist who feels trapped in her role as a housewife.The Minors are a young couple who are struggling to start a family. Mrs. Minor is desperate to have a child, but her husband is more interested in his career than in starting a family.The Dryfooses are a wealthy family who have recently moved to Cambridge from the West. The father, Dryfoos, is a self-made millionaire who is determined to climb the social ladder in Cambridge. His daughter, Christine, is a beautiful and intelligent young woman who becomes the object of Mr. Plant's affection.As the novel progresses, the lives of these families become increasingly intertwined. They face a variety of challenges, including financial difficulties, marital problems, and social pressures. Through it all, they must learn to rely on each other and to support each other through thick and thin.Cambridge Neighbors is a beautifully written novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of everyday life. It is a timeless story that will resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds.It was some years before the Boyesen summer, which was the fourth or fifth of our life in Cambridge, that I made the acquaintance of a man, very much my senior, who remains one of the vividest personalities in my recollection. I speak of him in this order perhaps because of an obscure association with Boyesen through their religious faith, which was also mine. But Henry James was incommensurably more Swedenborgian than either of us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
