"Friendship Village" by Zona Gale is a story about life in a small Midwestern town in the early 1900s. The story focuses on the relationships and unique lives of the people who live there. We see the town through the eyes of Calliope Marsh, a music teacher and lace mender, who shows us the town's mix of old traditions and new changes. The book starts by painting a picture of the town, a place where old-fashioned ways meet brand new inventions. Calliope's thoughts about her neighbors help us understand how everyone is connected and how their different personalities shape the town's social life; and all these connections come together to show what friendship really means in "Friendship Village".
