| Summary | "The Cursed Patois" by Mary Hartwell Catherwood is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a picturesque camp setting in Michigan, where themes of love, cultural intersection, and human kindness come to the forefront. It captures the essence of life at the lake, weaving a narrative that highlights the experiences of its characters, specifically the dynamics between men and women alongside their struggles and relationships. The plot centers around Frank Brown and his partner, Frank Puttany, who have established a camp on Brevoort Lake. Their peaceful existence is disrupted when they take in Françoise La France, a widow, and her young son, Gougou, after her husband’s untimely death. As the two men navigate the complexities of their household with the new guests, a bond forms between Brown and Françoise, illustrated through shared meals, camp life, and the responsibilities that arise. The story reaches a climax when Françoise's husband's brother attempts to take her away, leading Brown to propose marriage to her as a solution. Throughout, Catherwood explores themes of compassion, the simplicity of rural life, and the social intricacies surrounding love and family in a diversified cultural backdrop.
