Summary "Happy Island: A New 'Uncle William' Story" by Jennette Lee is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the endearing character of Uncle William Benslow, who navigates the simple, rustic life on an island while managing relationships with various individuals, including a contractor named Benjamin Bodet and young men from the community. The book explores themes of friendship, home, and the quirks of human nature in a delightful, heartwarming manner. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Uncle William as he interacts with his surroundings and the people in his life. We witness his daily routine, which includes examining a map and discussing plans with a local boy named Andy. As they prepare lobsters for dinner, conversations hint at the underlying relationships and tensions, such as Benjamin's struggle with a contractor and the anticipation of a new girl coming to live with them. This beginning sets a tone that is both charming and reflective, with nuanced dynamics among the characters that suggest a deeper exploration of community life and connections in the chapters to come.
