Summary "The Great Accident" by Ben Ames Williams is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the small midwestern town of Hardiston, the story explores the lives of its residents, particularly focusing on the political dynamics and personal relationships that shape their community. The narrative features Congressman Amos Caretall, who returns home to participate in a mayoral election, presenting a backdrop of political intrigue, competition, and local pride as the town grapples with its identity and future. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Hardiston, rich in history and character—an unpretentious town with a close-knit community that prides itself on its distinctive identity amidst political maneuverings. The narrative quickly establishes the political tensions surrounding the upcoming mayoralty election, including key figures like Congressman Caretall and Winthrop Chase, Jr., as well as local attorney Peter Gergue, who circles the political scene. The opening chapters set the stage for exploring the complexities of friendships, ambitions, and the interplay of personal and political agendas as they unfold in the small-town setting. The dialogue-heavy sections give insight into the characters' motivations and relationships, hinting at the central themes of camaraderie and rivalry that will develop as the plot progresses.
