Summary: "Neighbours" by Robert J. C. Stead is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a small Ontario town, where the narrator reflects on his childhood memories and the impact of family and neighbors in his life, particularly focusing on his relationship with Jean Lane, the daughter of their closest neighbor. The narrative introduces themes of innocence, exploration, and the gradual transition into adulthood against the backdrop of rural life. The opening of the book begins with the narrator recalling his early memories centered around a grey stone house by a mill-pond, his father's work at the local woolen mill, and the life they led on their small farm. He shares a significant childhood incident involving a daring attempt to cross a stone dam with Jean, which leads to a near-drowning experience that cements their bond. As the story progresses, it hints at his evolving feelings for Jean, alongside his experiences in school and family dynamics. The narrative sets a nostalgic and intimate tone, laying the groundwork for deeper themes surrounding companionship, growing up, and the unfolding complexities of youthful relationships in a changing world.
