| Summary | "The Proof of the Pudding" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to a social gathering at the Country Club, focusing on the complex life of a young woman named Nan Farley. The narrative delves into her attempts to navigate the expectations of society while grappling with her personal relationships and the lingering influence of her foster-father, Timothy Farley. At the start of the novel, the scene is set at a lively luncheon where Nan captivates her audience with her mimicry, showcasing her talent for entertainment. However, despite the laughter and applause, she feels an unease and soon escapes to the solitude of the riverbank, reflecting her internal struggles. The encounter with Jeremiah Amidon, a young man from her past who is now a commercial traveler, adds another layer to her character, highlighting themes of social class and personal ambition. The opening establishes a foundation for the exploration of Nan's past, her relationships with the people around her, and the impact they have on her future.
