Summary "Rainy Week" by Eleanor Hallowell Abbott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a group of guests invited to a house party during the notoriously rainy second week of May, where the hosts orchestrate a play-like experience for their eclectic assembly of characters. The personalities of the guests, including a bride and groom, an artist, and a mysterious woman, promise a mix of drama and humor as they interact amidst the backdrop of the rain. At the start of "Rainy Week," we are introduced to the hosts, a husband and wife who have been crafting this unconventional gathering for twenty years. The narrative kicks off with a humorous exploration of the types of guests they invite, including a man named Rollins, who is described as the 'Bore.' The couple meticulously plans each aspect of the event, including costumes and roles for the guests, while hinting at underlying tensions and potential romances among the characters. The tone is lighthearted yet reflective, suggesting that the rain will not only bring challenges but perhaps unexpected connections and revelations among the guests as they navigate their rainy week together.
