"A Summer in Leslie Goldthwaite's Life" by A. D. T. Whitney is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story is centered around the life of a young girl named Leslie Goldthwaite and her experiences during a transformative summer, where she navigates her thoughts on beauty, self-worth, and the role of women, all while embarking on a journey of personal growth and discovery with her Cousin Delight. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Leslie and her cousin Delight, who share a close bond. The narrative reveals Leslie's struggles with her identity as she compares herself and her accomplishments to others, particularly in the context of proprieties expected of young women of her time. Through conversations about their aspirations and reflections on nature, Leslie grapples with significant questions about life, societal expectations, and inner fulfillment. The beginning sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Leslie's character as she prepares for a summer packed with new experiences, ultimately implying that the journey will challenge her perspectives on self-image and purpose.
