A naïve Massachusetts schoolteacher sails to Italy, where she is harassed by a drunk and meets a Boston socialite who will become her husband. The Lady of the Aroostook explores a favorite theme of Howells—conflicting social habits, in this case those of the American village and those of the American city.
