| Summary | "Droll Stories of Isthmian Life" by Evelyn Saxton is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intriguing and often humorous experiences of various characters as they navigate life in and around Panama, particularly during the construction of the Panama Canal. The recurring characters include expatriates, laborers, and locals who contribute to a vibrant tapestry of daily life on the isthmus. The opening of the book introduces the narrator's journey from New York to Panama, detailing the diverse and eclectic group of passengers aboard the ship. This motley crew includes tourists, nurses, engineers, and soldiers, all of whom bring their own stories and backgrounds into the mix. Upon arrival in Panama, the narrator experiences a mix of excitement and trepidation, set against a backdrop of cultural clash, adventure, and personal challenge, particularly as she learns about her husband’s illness. As events unfold, the reader is treated to a vivid portrayal of life in Panama, marked by charming anecdotes, societal observations, and humorous interactions amidst the struggles of the new environment.
