Summary "Squire Phin" by Holman Day is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the fictional village of Palermo, the story revolves around the peculiar characters residing there, particularly focusing on Squire Phin Look, a local lawyer with a reputation for helping the townsfolk. The opening hints at the interplay of small-town life, eccentricity, and the tensions of past relationships, hinting at both humor and drama as the narrative unfolds. The beginning of "Squire Phin" introduces us to the sleepy village of Palermo on a languorous summer afternoon. We meet "Hard-Times" Wharff, a local figure known for his eccentric behavior and claimed ability to predict weather changes, who stands stubbornly in the sun while townsmen gossip about him. The arrival of Hime Look, Phin's brother, after a long absence stirs the community, revealing family tensions and unresolved issues from their past. Amidst the commotion, Phin Look's character as a beloved yet unassuming lawyer comes into focus, suggesting that the tale will explore themes of family loyalty, societal expectations, and the quirks of rural life intertwined with the mysterious arrival of the circus and the eccentricities of its performers.
