Summary "Thistle and Rose: A Story for Girls" by Amy Walton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Anna, a fifteen-year-old girl who is set to leave her life in London to stay with her relatives in the countryside while her father travels abroad. Throughout the narrative, Anna navigates new relationships, especially with her estranged grandfather, and experiences the contrasts between her previous life and the new opportunities awaiting her in Waverley. The opening of the novel introduces Anna as she prepares for her journey to Waverley, filled with both excitement and apprehension about leaving her familiar London life behind. Her governess, Miss Milverton, expresses her concern about Anna's adaptation to new surroundings, hinting at the importance of recognizing and valuing the best things in life. As Anna reflects on her past interactions and her father's absence, she feels a mix of anticipation and loneliness. This emotional backdrop sets the stage for her imminent arrival in Waverley, where themes of family, personal growth, and the discovery of one's roots begin to intertwine. The interactions between Anna and her father, as well as hints of her mother's mysterious past, suggest a rich storyline filled with potential for character development and poignant moments.
