"The Wiving of Lance Cleaverage" by Alice MacGowan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the highlands of Tennessee and follows the life of Lance Cleaverage, a young man navigating courtship and social dynamics in a rural community. Central to the plot are his interactions with Callista Gentry, a young woman admired by many, and the various tensions that arise from their relationship amidst the expectations of their society. The opening of the book introduces the setting on a vibrant Sunday in the Tennessee highlands, highlighting the differences in the characters' social standings and aspirations. Lance is portrayed as a free-spirited and somewhat rebellious figure, challenging societal norms with his banjo, while Callista is depicted as a beautiful and carefully groomed girl, the subject of much male affection and competition. The chapter illustrates Lance and Callista’s playful banter, hinting at deeper feelings intertwined with the community's expectations. As characters like the Widow Griever and other townsfolk offer commentary on their youthful dynamics, the stage is set for the ensuing drama of love, rivalry, and societal pressures that will unfold throughout the novel.
