| Summary | "Daddy's Girl" by L. T. Meade is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around an eight-year-old girl named Sibyl Ogilvie, affectionately referred to as "the Angel," who navigates the complexities of her family dynamics, including her quarrelling parents and her own understanding of love, beauty, and perfection. The book explores themes of innocence, the longing for parental approval, and the perceived perfection of childhood versus the reality of adult relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to young Sibyl, who remains blissfully unaware of the discord between her parents, Philip and Mildred Ogilvie. While her father seems to cherish her without any conditions, her mother only doles out affection when Sibyl presents herself as pretty, leading the child to reflect deeply on relationships and her own self-worth. As Sibyl prepares for an important occasion, her innocent thoughts are colored by the stark realities of her parents’ marriage, setting the stage for a narrative rich in emotional complexity and the exploration of familial love.
