| Summary | "The Story of Louie" by Oliver Onions is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to explore themes of identity and social class through the life of its main character, Louie Causton, who is the daughter of a pugilist and an artist's model. As she navigates her past and present, readers are likely to encounter a mix of personal struggles and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, a prologue introduces the complicated relationship between Louie and her family, particularly focusing on her mother, the Honourable Emily Causton, and her father, Buck Causton, a once-celebrated pugilist. The opening portion sets the scene for Louie's life, highlighting her troubled upbringing and her quest for belonging. As Louie attends a horticultural college, we see the contrast between her social status and her aspirations, as she grapples with the legacy of her mixed heritage and strives to carve out her own identity amidst the expectations of those around her.
