Summary |
"Peggy Raymond's Way; Or, Blossom Time at Friendly Terrace" by Harriet L. Smith is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around a group of friends, particularly focusing on Peggy Raymond and her interactions with her companions Amy, Ruth, and Priscilla as they navigate life’s challenges and joys. The book seems to explore themes of friendship, personal development, and social dynamics during a period of change, likely just after the First World War. The opening portion of the novel introduces readers to Amy Lassell, one of the main characters, as she reflects on her spring vacation. While Amy has a natural inclination toward idleness, she finds herself preoccupied with sewing and household responsibilities due to the absence of her mother and the necessity of preparing dinner for her father. This daily struggle highlights her character's industriousness despite a tendency to prefer leisure. As the story unfolds, her unexpected guests, Hildegarde and Robert Carey, compel her to confront social awkwardness and her own self-image. The scene captures the charming dynamics of friendship, social mishaps, and the humor found in everyday life, setting the stage for further exploration of the characters’ growth and interactions throughout the book.
