| Summary |
"Three Sides of Paradise Green" by Augusta Huiell Seaman is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the lives of two teenage girls, Sue Birdsey and her cousin Carol, as they navigate the challenges of adolescence, family dynamics, and emerging mysteries in their lives. Central to the story is their fascination with their neighbor, Louis, and the enigmatic presence of Monsieur de Vaubert, who brings an aura of intrigue to their otherwise quiet lives in the rural setting of Stafford. At the start of the novel, Sue begins a journal encouraged by their beloved teacher, Miss Cullingford, who believes that everyone, regardless of how mundane their life may seem, has interesting experiences worth recording. Sue's musings reveal her dissatisfaction with the usual quiet life in their small town, but as she begins to explore her own world and the people in it—especially Louis and his peculiar guardians—hidden mysteries start to unfold. There are allusions to past family secrets, strange behaviors of Louis's family, and the mysterious cablegrams they receive, setting the stage for intriguing developments. The opening portion establishes a mix of everyday schoolgirl experiences and burgeoning mysteries that will propel the narrative forward, drawing readers into the lives of these girls and the secrets surrounding them.
