"Patty and Azalea" by Carolyn Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of Patty Farnsworth and her new family in their beautiful home, Wistaria Porch, in Westchester County. The plot introduces the themes of domestic life, connections to family and relatives, and the challenges of hospitality as Patty welcomes her awkward cousin Azalea Thorpe into her home. The beginning of the book presents Patty as a devoted wife and mother, filled with joy about her new home and family life. As she interacts with her husband, Bill, and her baby daughter, Fleurette, the story conveys a sense of warmth and happiness. However, the arrival of Azalea is marked by her brash and boisterous personality, creating a stark contrast to Patty's delicate and refined sensibility. This initial encounter sets up the narrative tension as Patty navigates the challenges of hosting someone so different from herself, with a comedic yet poignant exploration of family dynamics and social etiquette unfolding in the progression of their interactions.
