Summary "Prue and I" by George William Curtis is a reflective narrative that appears to be a semi-autobiographical novel written during the late 19th century. The book intricately explores themes of domesticity, love, and the joys found in simple, everyday moments, all through the eyes of a modest bookkeeper who cherishes the beauty of his wife, Prue, and finds enchantment in his mundane life. The opening context suggests a deep appreciation for the small pleasures of existence, interwoven with observations of society and the contemplative musings of its narrator. The opening of "Prue and I" sets the stage for the protagonist, a humble bookkeeper who finds solace in the quotidian aspects of life while often daydreaming about moments of romance and beauty that seem beyond his reach. Devoted to his wife, Prue, and their family, he casts a longing gaze toward the social gatherings and the enchanting figures he encounters, particularly a captivating woman named Aurelia. The narrator paints scenes of admiration for Aurelia's beauty while reflecting on his own contentment derived from his simple domestic life. As his thoughts drift between reality and imagination, he contrasts his rich inner world filled with vibrant fantasies against the unremarkable, yet fulfilling, existence he shares with Prue, suggesting that the essence of happiness can often be found in the most unassuming places.
