Summary: "The Bent Twig" by Dorothy Canfield Fisher is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around Sylvia Marshall, a young girl from an unconventional academic family, as she navigates her childhood and gradually begins to understand the complexities of her family dynamic and the world around her. The opening of the book introduces us to Sylvia's idyllic childhood filled with vivid memories, from playing with her siblings to the warmth of her parents' interactions. As Sylvia grapples with her emotions, particularly regarding her Aunt Victoria's perceptions of her family life, she begins to forge her identity. The narrative captures the essence of her family's lively yet chaotic existence, contrasting the academic profundity of her father's world with the more carefree and rustic values represented by her mother and the many visitors that come and go in their home. There's a rich tapestry of early 20th-century social dynamics at play, hinting at the challenges Sylvia will face as she continues to grow and discover her place in society.
