Summary: "A True Friend: A Novel" by Adeline Sergeant is a fiction work written in the late 19th century. The book centers around the unlikely friendship between Janetta Colwyn, a music governess of modest means, and Margaret Adair, a wealthy heiress and beauty. The narrative explores themes of social class and the consequences of their friendship as it faces scrutiny from their school and families. The opening of the novel introduces us to the contrasting lives of Janetta and Margaret, who met at a fashionable school where their friendship blossomed despite their differing social standings. Their bond is strong enough to raise eyebrows among school authorities, particularly from Miss Polehampton, who views their connection as inappropriate. As tensions rise, Miss Polehampton ultimately expels both girls in an attempt to preserve social propriety, which Margaret vehemently opposes, indicating her strong attachment to Janetta. This compelling beginning sets the stage for an exploration of loyalty, societal expectations, and the challenges faced in maintaining true friendship across class divides.
