"Pointed Roofs: Pilgrimage, Volume 1" by Dorothy M. Richardson is a novel written in the early 20th century, notable for its stream-of-consciousness style. The narrative centers around Miriam Henderson, a young woman embarking on a journey of self-discovery and education as she navigates her transition from home life to the responsibilities and societal expectations of a governess in Germany. The book explores themes of identity, isolation, and the complexities of female experience during this time. At the start of the novel, we find Miriam in the contemplative moments before her departure to Germany, reflecting on her past and the relationships she is leaving behind, particularly with her family and friends. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia as she grapples with her impending responsibilities and the loneliness that accompanies change. As she prepares to face the new environment at the German school, readers witness her internal struggles, desires, and the haunting thoughts about how her life will change forever. The narrative captures her complex feelings—while she longs for independence and growth, she is simultaneously burdened by fears of inadequacy, alienation, and a yearning for connection in her new surroundings.
