Title

A Homecoming

Description

In "A Home-coming,' published first in 1921 and again in 1926 in Suckow's first short story collection IOWA INTERIORS, Suckow offers one of the most complete pictures of the effects of the daughterly sacrifice. Laura Haviland returns to her birth home in Spring Valley after he mother's death. Although in her youth she had been noted for "joyousness," now at (36 or 37) she is "fragile and worn." Now she has choices open to her, but will she be able to seize them? "Her life seemed drawn out of her," Suckow writes; "it made one angry at the world."

Title

Charlotte's Marriage

Description

In “Charlotte's Marriage,” Suckow again contrasts two women and their choices. Grace VanCamp, a wealthy Iowan “wintering” in California, contrives to look up Charlotte, a girlhood friend Grace always envied. Charlotte always possessed a “distinction” that eluded Grace. Charlotte was the most popular girl in school, and she married Ken, the handsome most popular man in college. But Charlotte and Ken leave town and settle on their own in California when Charlotte's father belittles Ken. Charlotte's and Grace's fortunes now seem reversed—and Grace must see this for herself. What she finds will spur many thoughts and memories in readers.

Experience

Description

In this story, Elizabeth has just lost her beloved husband and is riddled with pain and suffering from the loss. She goes to visit Miss Gurney, whom she has always admired. Miss Gurney, we learn, first took care of her mother who was injured after a fall from a three, and then of her father, immobilized for the past 10 years after a wagon accident. The father died at age 91 only the winter before. Elizabeth asks of Miss Gurney: "When things happen to people, how can they stand to go on living? Why don't they simply die?" Miss Gurney gives her a thoughtful reply.
