E-text prepared by Suzanne Shell, Mary Meehan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"A Popular Schoolgirl" by Angela Brazil is a novel set in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Ingred Saxon, a young girl grappling with the transition from carefree holidays back to the realities of school life after the war. Facing changes in her family's circumstances, Ingred must navigate her feelings and relationships at her new school while dealing with the challenges of adolescence. The opening of the novel introduces us to Ingred's world during the end of her summer holidays, showcasing her excitement for family reunions but also hinting at her underlying anxieties about returning to school. As she interacts with her brothers and friends, we see the dynamic of familial affection mixed with the pressures of societal expectations. The gradual reveal of her family's struggles and the significance of Rotherwood—a house filled with memories but now out of reach—sets the stage for Ingred’s journey of self-discovery and adaptation in her new educational environment. The narrative hints at her personality's complexities, including pride and sensitivity, making her relatable to anyone who has experienced the challenges of growing up and seeking one’s place among peers.
