"Hillsboro People" by Dorothy Canfield Fisher is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book paints a vivid picture of life in a small Vermont village, exploring themes of community, human connection, and the contrast between rural and urban existences. It reflects on the experiences of the townsfolk as they navigate their lives against the backdrop of the ever-changing world outside their village. The opening of "Hillsboro People" introduces readers to the idyllic yet complex life in Hillsboro, emphasizing the richness of human experience found in close-knit communities. Through the perspective of a narrative voice that observes and reflects on the essence of village life, the story describes the return of a villager who prefers their local connections over the anonymity of city living. It highlights how living in a small town fosters deep empathy for one another, contrasting with the detached interactions common in metropolitan areas. The beginning sets the stage for the exploration of characters and their relationships, hinting at more intricate stories that weave through the fabric of Hillsboro.
