About this eBook

Author Molesworth, Mrs., 1839-1921
Title Cicely : a story of three years
Original Publication London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
Summary "Cicely: A Story of Three Years" by Mrs. Molesworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Geneviève Casalis, a young girl living in the south of France, as she navigates her world surrounded by family obligations, social pressures, and her own aspirations. The opening portion introduces Geneviève's domestic life, her interactions with her mother and the household staff, and hints at her desires for a future that transcends her current circumstances. At the start of the story, Geneviève reflects on her simple life while feeling somewhat out of place in her attire compared to others. As she contemplates her summer dresses and the social implications of appearances, she is interrupted by a request from her mother to deliver soup to the Widow Lafon. This task leads her to encounter various characters, including a charming gentleman, Mr. Fawcett, after an unexpected accident that could change the course of her life. The scene sets up themes of class, aspiration, and youthful naivety, with Geneviève's dreams of fortune and adventure juxtaposed against her mother's realities.
