Joy Street is a novel written by Frances Parkinson Keyes, which takes place in the city of Boston during the early 20th century. The story follows the lives of two families, the Parkers and the Mores, who live on Joy Street, a picturesque and affluent area of the city. The Parkers are an established family, while the Mores are newcomers to the neighborhood, having recently moved from the countryside.As the families become acquainted, they develop a close relationship that is tested by the events of the time, including the outbreak of World War I and the influenza epidemic. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the struggle to maintain one's identity in the face of adversity.Throughout the book, Keyes weaves a rich tapestry of characters, including the Parkers' headstrong daughter, Eleanor, and the Mores' son, Peter, who becomes a soldier in the war. The novel also features historical figures such as President Woodrow Wilson and suffragette Alice Paul.Joy Street is a poignant and heartwarming tale of family, friendship, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of challenging times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
