Summary "A Sweet Girl Graduate" by Mrs. L. T. Meade is a coming-of-age novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Priscilla Penywern Peel, a young woman embarking on her journey into the world as she leaves her home in Devonshire to attend St. Benet's College. Priscilla’s experience reflects the challenges and expectations faced by women of her time, as she grapples with feelings of homesickness, the pressure to conform, and her desire for personal growth and independence. The opening of the novel introduces Priscilla as she prepares to leave her family home, filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation. As she interacts with her loving but practical Aunt Raby, we glimpse into Priscilla’s character: ambitious yet anxious, and determined to support her younger siblings. Upon reaching college, Priscilla is overwhelmed by the new environment and the social dynamics at play. The narrative vividly captures her feelings of isolation, particularly as she navigates encounters with her fellow students, revealing her vulnerability in a place that is supposed to be her new home. With the backdrop of academic pursuits and social challenges, Priscilla's journey unfolds with themes of struggle, resilience, and the complexity of friendship, setting the stage for her growth as she fully embraces her educational path.
