| Summary |
"Mary Marie" by Eleanor H. Porter is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the life of a young girl named Mary Marie Anderson, who finds herself caught between the contrasting worlds of her divorced parents. As she navigates her dual identities—Mary with her father and Marie with her mother—she explores themes of family dynamics, the impact of divorce on children, and her own growth and identity. The opening of the book introduces Mary Marie, a thirteen-year-old girl who relishes the uniqueness of her family situation, particularly the fact that she is living in an era of divorce, which is not common among her peers. The narrative is presented through her fresh, curious perspective as she begins her diary, exploring her feelings about her parents' separation and reflecting on her desire to document her life as an exciting story. The initial chapters set the stage for her journey, filled with whimsical innocence and a blend of excitement and confusion as she prepares to split her time between her two very different parents, each with their own personalities and influences on her life.
