| Summary |
"Miss Prudence: A Story of Two Girls' Lives" by Jennie M. Drinkwater is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the lives of two young girls, Marjorie West and her friend Linnet, as they navigate their childhood experiences, self-discovery, and the complexities of growing up. The narrative delves into themes of identity, spirituality, and the influence of adults in their lives, with Miss Prudence being a significant character who embodies wisdom and guidance. The opening of the novel introduces Marjorie, an imaginative and thoughtful eleven-year-old who struggles with self-doubt and the pressures of her school life. As she faces punishment for neglecting her studies in favor of reading, the narrative captures her internal conflict and the warmth of her friendships. The relationship between Marjorie and Hollis Rheid, a boy from her school, resonates with innocent admiration and budding affection. This initial portrayal sets the stage for a story rich with emotional nuances and the exploration of moral and ethical questions as the characters grow and mature in their understanding of the world around them.
