Summary "A Little Country Girl" by Susan Coolidge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the main character, Candace Arden, who embarks on a summer journey from her rural home in Connecticut to stay with her cousin in Newport. The narrative captures her experiences in this new environment, emphasizing themes of growth, social class, and the challenges of adapting to a more refined lifestyle. The opening of the book introduces readers to Candace as she travels on the steamer "Eolus" to Newport, where she feels both excitement and trepidation. Her interactions with Captain King show her shyness and the innocent charm that makes her likable. Upon arriving at her cousin's home, Candace is overwhelmed by new experiences and societal expectations, which heighten her feelings of homesickness and unease. The chapter adeptly sets the stage for her struggles with adapting to the etiquette and lifestyle of her cousins, presenting a tender portrayal of a young girl caught between her country roots and the more sophisticated world she is entering.
