| Summary | "Patty's Perversities" by Arlo Bates is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the spirited and whimsical protagonist, Patty Sanford, who navigates the complexities of youth, romance, and family dynamics in a small town. The narrative explores Patty's relationships with her suitors, her family’s eccentricities, and the societal expectations placed upon her as a young woman. At the start of the novel, Patty awakens to a sunny morning filled with thoughts of an upcoming picnic, where she contemplates the expected invitations from her admirers. Through her musings, readers are introduced to her playful nature, her interactions with friends and family members, including her mother and cousin Flossy, and the rivalries that emerge amongst the young men vying for her attention. The opening chapters set the stage for Patty's lively character and the various challenges she will face as relationships deepen and evolve, revealing both her charm and her determination to assert her own desires amidst the social expectations of her community.
