| Summary | "Peace in Friendship Village" by Zona Gale is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story leads us into the lives of the residents of Friendship Village as they navigate the aftermath of World War I and their efforts towards healing and community building. The narrative is delivered through the perspective of Calliope Marsh, who observes and shares the experiences of her fellow villagers, touching on themes of kindness, unity, and the complexities of human relations in the face of hardship. The opening of the book introduces us to a diverse cast of characters involved in a community event called "The Feast of Nations," where village members are preparing to celebrate their different heritages while simultaneously drawing attention to the importance of peace and cooperation among nations. As Calliope shares her thoughts and observations, we meet young Achilles Poulaki and the elderly Mis' Sykes, who reflect the hopes and challenges of integrating immigrant families into the community. The narrative sets the stage for deeper explorations of identity, belonging, and the struggles faced by those who are marginalized, all while highlighting the warmth and resilience of the villagers.
