| Summary | "The Prairie Wife" by Arthur Stringer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Chaddie, a young woman who finds herself navigating the unexpected complexities of marriage and life on a prairie ranch after marrying Duncan Argyll McKail, the so-called "Other Man," instead of her previous romantic interest, the sophisticated Theobald Gustav. As Chaddie chronicles her experiences, the narrative paints a vivid picture of the challenges and emotional upheavals she encounters while adapting to her new surroundings. The opening of the novel introduces us to Chaddie's lively voice as she pours out her thoughts in a letter to her friend Matilda Anne. Filled with humor and introspection, Chaddie's correspondence reveals her mixed feelings about her marriage and her new life on the prairie, where she grapples with feelings of loneliness and the stark reality of her new home. The narrative juxtaposes her earlier glamorous life with the hard work and humble nature of her current existence, highlighting her struggles and growth. As she details her initial adventures and encounters, including a humorous incident involving her duck-gun, we are offered a glimpse into her resilient spirit as she learns to embrace the realities of prairie life.
