| Summary |
"The Tower Rooms" by Mary Grant Bruce is a novel written in the early 20th century. This coming-of-age story follows a young woman named Doris Earle, who feels both exhausted from her teaching job and financially strained alongside her brother Colin and sister Madge. Seeking a transformative escape, she replies to an advertisement for a position as a governess in a rural household, led by the seemingly eccentric Mrs. McNab. At the start of the novel, Doris grapples with the challenges of her teaching position, balancing familial responsibilities and the pressures of her work. Frustration builds as she faces a demanding school environment and the looming threat of losing her job while attempting to provide for her family's needs. After receiving an unexpected invitation from Mrs. McNab, who requires help with her children and house when their governess takes a holiday, Doris embarks on a journey to The Towers. This initial exploration sets the stage for her new life, complete with mischievous children and an enigmatic employer, as she seeks to find her place and happiness in this new adventure.
