Description
Eris is a novel by Robert Chambers, published in New York by Doran in 1922. It is dedicated to his friend Harry Payne Burton. The first chapter opens at Whitewater Farms on a spring morning in 1900. A baby is born at nine in the morning, April the nineteenth. Two pure-breed calves are dropped the same day at near the same hour. Odell hears the news toward noon from his foreman. For twenty years his marriage has been childless.
He had waited in vain for sons to work the farm. Now, after twenty hard years of discord, Fanny has given him a girl. Odell scrapes his boots at the manure pit and broods. A bad winter, an April drouth, and bull calves with no market fill his mind. Word comes that Fanny is bad, and a second doctor has been sent for. The title names the goddess of strife.
