Summary "The Loves of Ambrose" by Margaret Vandercook is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Ambrose Thompson, a young man from the small town of Pennyroyal in Kentucky. The narrative follows his unique yearly spring rituals as he departs from his hometown, sparking curiosity and speculation among the townsfolk, and hints at his ongoing romantic adventures intertwined with the experiences of love and self-discovery. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Ambrose as he prepares for one of his escapades. The setting is vibrant with the sights and smells of spring, which fills him with a joyful sense of adventure. As Ambrose discreetly leaves his home, he navigates the town, eliciting reactions from his neighbors, including the curious interest of the townsfolk and their suspicions about his whereabouts. However, even as he sets out, thoughts of "Peachy" Williams, likely a significant interest in his life, linger in his mind, foreshadowing the romantic pursuits that will unfold throughout the story. This opening sets the stage for an exploration of love in various forms, particularly through Ambrose’s relationships with women in his life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
