Summary "Captain Lucy and Lieutenant Bob" by Aline Havard is a young adult novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of Lucy Gordon, a spirited fourteen-year-old girl, and her cousin Marian as they navigate the dynamics of military life on Governor's Island during World War I. The narrative captures themes of courage, friendship, and the challenges faced by families connected to the army, against the backdrop of an evolving wartime environment. The opening portion introduces Lucy, who eagerly anticipates the arrival of her cousin Marian, setting the stage for their relationship as they adjust to life at the army post. We see Lucy's longing for adventure and her burgeoning awareness of the realities of war, particularly as she grapples with the changes wrought by the military's demands. Through interactions with family and friends, including the hint at impending deployments and the realities of army life, the reader gains insight into Lucy's character and her emerging sense of duty and loyalty amidst personal challenges. The narrative unfolds to establish both the intimate family dynamics and the broader implications of service, setting the tone for an engaging exploration of youth, sacrifice, and resilience.
