The novel tells the story of Kent Knowles, a character who returns to his hometown on Cape Cod after many years of living away. He becomes involved in various local affairs and develops new friendships and connections. The title "Quahaug" refers to the quahog, a type of clam, which is an important aspect of the local culture and economy.Joseph Crosby Lincoln was known for his regional fiction, and many of his novels are set in Cape Cod. His works often portray the daily lives, customs, and dialects of the people in the region. "Kent Knowles: Quahaug" is an example of his storytelling, and it provides readers with a sense of the Cape Cod community during the early 20th century.While Lincoln's works may not be as widely read today as they were during his lifetime, they offer valuable insights into regional American literature and the charm of Cape Cod and its inhabitants.
