"Indian Summer" by Emily Grant Hutchings is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the quaint village of Bromfield, where the protagonist, Lavinia Larimore, grapples with her engagement to Calvin Stone, an enigmatic man whose intentions seem shrouded in mystery and distraction. The narrative explores themes of love, betrayal, and societal expectations as Lavinia confronts both her feelings and the reality of her situation. At the start of the novel, Lavinia anxiously awaits an explanation from Calvin about his recent behavior, which has been increasingly erratic and suspicious. Lavinia's internal struggle intensifies as she contemplates her future and the implications of her fiancé's actions.

As the stage is set for a complex interplay of relationships, the groundwork is laid for a story deeply rooted in personal and social conflicts, inviting readers to invest in the characters’ journeys through love and disappointment.
