| Summary | "Mavis of Green Hill" by Faith Baldwin is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around the main character, Mavis Carroll, a bed-ridden young woman whose life is enriched by her vivid imagination and her observations from her window. It captures her interactions with her father, her caretaker Sarah, and the arrival of a new physician, Doctor Denton, who becomes a pivotal figure in her constrained world. The opening of the book introduces us to Mavis as she embarks on a typical morning filled with the mundane tasks of her life, supported by her caregiver, Sarah. The mention of a new doctor in the village sparks interest and excitement in Mavis, reflecting her longing for the world outside her illness-stricken existence. As she navigates her interactions and the gossip of her small New England town, we learn about her internal struggles, her desires for connection, and the emotional complexities that come with being confined at home for so long. Through her diary entries, Mavis confides her hopes and fears, creating a rich tapestry of character study that captivates the reader's attention right from the start.
