Summary "The Day of Glory" by Dorothy Canfield Fisher is a novel written in the early 20th century. This poignant tale is centered around Jeanne Bruneau, a woman coping with the challenges and heart-wrenching complexities of life as a mother during World War I. The narrative delves into themes of hope, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of those who work tirelessly to maintain their family and humanity amidst the ravages of war. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jeanne, who juggles the demands of caring for her six children while desperately awaiting news from her husband, André, stationed at the front. Her daily life is portrayed vividly through her struggles with meager resources, the emotional toll of uncertainty, and the moments of joy found in small interactions with her children. As she navigates the tedious hardships of wartime life, Jeanne's inner strength shines through, showcasing her relentless hope and resilience, even as she wrestles with the fear of losing her husband to the war. The beginning sets a deeply emotional tone, drawing readers into the protagonist’s world and the heartbreaking realities faced by families during this tumultuous period.
