| Summary | "Dwellers in the Hills" by Melville Davisson Post is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a rural setting among the hills, following the life and perspectives of young Quiller and his interactions with various characters, including his older brother Ward and the local horsemen, as they navigate themes of rivalry, affection, and the complexities of rural life." "The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the landscape and its inhabitants through the eyes of Quiller, who is engaged in the everyday task of fixing his horse's equipment. Accompanied by his brother Jud and the character Ump, they share a light moment watching a horse and horseman below. Quiller's thoughts meander between his youthful bravado about riding and his growing emotions tied to a girl named Cynthia, whose association with another man stirs feelings of rivalry and jealousy. The narrative starts to delve into Quiller's internal struggles as he grapples with youthful innocence, personal loss, and the uncertainties of changing relationships amid the backdrop of a rich, natural environment."
