| Summary |
"Ester Ried" by Pansy is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Ester Ried, a diligent and weary young woman who manages a busy household while grappling with feelings of frustration and longing for freedom from her mundane daily life. As she cares for her family and their boarders, the narrative explores themes of faith, duty, and the quest for identity. At the start of the story, Ester is introduced in her kitchen, overwhelmed with tasks just before a dinner service for fifteen. The reader sees her relationship with her lively younger sister, Sadie, and how Ester often carries the weight of household responsibilities while nurturing feelings of envy toward their seemingly carefree lives. As Ester reflects on her life, she expresses a yearning for change, believing that a shift in her circumstances might alleviate her dissatisfaction. This opening chapter sets the groundwork for Ester's internal struggles and hints at the transformations that may await her as the plot unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
