| Summary | "Little Eve Edgarton" by Eleanor Hallowell Abbott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the life of Eve Edgarton, a unique and unconventional girl who has spent her life traveling the world with her father and yearning for the simpler joys of home and domesticity. The narrative combines elements of humor, poignancy, and social commentary on the nature of beauty and worth through Eve's interactions with those around her. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a conversation between two men outside a hotel, where they discuss the appeal and superficiality of women they encounter. The Younger Man expresses his frustrations about dating attractive but shallow women, while the Older Man suggests that true beauty lies deeper within a person. Their dialogue sets the stage for the appearance of Eve, who, contrary to their expectations, is presented as a seemingly plain yet intriguing character. As the story unfolds, Eve's tomboyish spirit is contrasted with the expectations of society, particularly as she unexpectedly teams up with the Younger Man for a riding adventure that leads them into an unexpected storm, symbolizing the chaos and unpredictability of life and relationships.
