A girl and her ways by Amy Le Feuvre
by Le Feuvre, Amy, 1861-1929Description
A Girl and Her Ways by Amy Le Feuvre is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the main character, Gentian, a spirited young woman navigating her newfound independence after her mother’s death. As she settles into her life in England, she must confront societal expectations, her personal ambitions, and her relationships with men who wish to manage her life. The opening portion of the book introduces us to Thorold Holt, a somewhat solitary man dealing with the aftermath of his cousin’s death. He is approached by Miss Ward, a woman who seeks his assistance for Gentian, the daughter of a late friend, who is left without means after her mother’s passing. Gentian is depicted as determined and fiercely independent, preferring to forge her own path in life. As Thorold learns more about Gentian’s ambitions and her idea of driving a car for hire, he grapples with both concern for her future and his own feelings about taking on the responsibilities of familial ties. The stage is set for a dynamic exploration of Gentian’s journey towards self-sufficiency and her relationships with those around her. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
