"Carnival" by Compton MacKenzie is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Jenny Raeburn, born under the quiet veil of a London autumn, and her experiences growing up in a working-class environment. The narrative delves into the tensions and dynamics of her familial relationships, particularly between her mother Florence and her often absent father, Charlie, as well as the influence of her stern aunts. The opening of "Carnival" establishes a vivid picture of Jenny's birth during a tranquil October evening, revealing her mother's conflicting emotions toward motherhood, domestic life, and the expectations placed upon her. Florence navigates her thoughts about her marriage to Charlie, reflecting on her lost dreams and the burdens of motherhood, while the arrival of her daughter Jenny introduces hope yet heightens her anxiety about the future. Through poetic descriptions, Mackenzie captures the atmosphere of their modest home and the weight of family tradition, setting the stage for Jenny's journey of self-discovery and the societal pressures she will face as she grows up.
