| Summary | "Oldfield: A Kentucky Tale of the Last Century" by Nancy Huston Banks is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the Pennyroyal Region of Kentucky, capturing the lives of two elderly sisters, Miss Judy and Miss Sophia, as well as the dynamics of their quaint village community. The narrative explores themes of gentility, resilience, and the passage of time through the eyes of its gentle characters, particularly focusing on Miss Judy's nurturing nature toward her sister and the other villagers. The opening of the novel introduces us to Miss Judy, who is characterized by her delicate beauty, gentleness, and strict adherence to propriety. As she navigates her morning routine without disturbing her sister, we're drawn into a world where small, intimate actions speak volumes about their shared love and societal expectations. The narrative hints at a rich backstory involving their family's history, the hardships they've faced, and the quaintness of village life. Amidst the tranquility, a subtle air of melancholy lingers, reflecting the sisters' solitude and the weight of their past, all woven together against the backdrop of a changing Kentucky landscape.
