Summary "Heart's Kindred" by Zona Gale is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Inger, a solitary man living in a rustic rural setting, who reflects on his life and the world around him. As he prepares for an impending wedding in the nearby town of Inch, his thoughts drift to his past and the relationships that shaped him, particularly focusing on Lory Moor, the daughter of a local figure with a masterful past, whose future seems bleak. The opening of the novel sets the stage for conflict and introspection as Inger contemplates his life's decisions while crafting a bowl from a turtle shell. He is interrupted by the ringing of a bell, signaling a wedding that stirs up mixed emotions within him— namely, resentment toward Bunchy, the man marrying Lory. As Inger prepares to participate in the festivities, he is confronted by memories and the sharp reality of his own choices. The narrative introduces the tension between the allure of adventure and the weight of responsibilities, foreshadowing Inger's connection to Lory and hinting at the transformative journey that lies ahead for both characters.
