Summary: "The Disagreeable Woman: A Social Mystery" by Julian Starr is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a boarding house in New York City, centering around a character known as the Disagreeable Woman, a sharp-tongued and observant figure whose caustic remarks and enigmatic nature intrigue her fellow boarders. The narrative explores themes of social dynamics, human relationships, and the mysteries surrounding personal identities. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Disagreeable Woman amidst breakfast in a boarding house run by Mrs. Gray. Her sharp comment about a young widow's apparent age creates a stir among the boarders, hinting at her straightforward disposition. The narrator, a struggling physician who has moved to the city for better opportunities, becomes curious about the Disagreeable Woman, whose true identity and purpose remain cloaked in mystery. As he interacts with other boarders like the earnest Professor Poppendorf and the charming Ruth Canby, both humor and tension arise, setting the stage for deeper explorations of affection, class, and the societal roles of the characters as the story unfolds.
