| Summary | "Under the Country Sky" by Grace S. Richmond is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Georgiana Warne, a young woman living in a modest country manse with her ailing father, Father Davy. The narrative explores themes of social class, personal aspirations, and the complexities of friendships as Georgiana navigates her feelings of envy and longing for a more vibrant life while trying to maintain her independence. The opening of the novel depicts a visit from Georgiana's college classmates, revealing her internal struggle with feelings of inadequacy and jealousy as she observes their comfortable lives contrasted against her own. While hosting them, Georgiana grapples with her desire for acceptance and the challenge of finding fulfillment in her responsibilities. The tension escalates when Georgiana invites her wealthy cousin, Jeannette Crofton, to visit, introducing an element of social comparison. The narrative sets the stage for further developments as Georgiana seeks to prove her worth while also dealing with her burgeoning feelings towards their new boarder, Mr. E. C. Jefferson, who appears to be a man of depth and intelligence. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
