"Samantha in Europe" by Marietta Holley is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century.

The story promises to explore the couple's experiences abroad, filled with Samantha's reflections on their life, travels, and the various eccentric characters they encounter along the way. At the start of the narrative, Samantha finds herself on an ocean voyage, deep in thought about her previous life in Jonesville.

Martyn Smythe. The preface features a playful dialogue between Samantha and Josiah, showcasing their dynamic and hinting at the humorous tone of the book.
