"Patty’s Motor Car" by Carolyn Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the charming character Patty Fairfield, a lively young woman with a penchant for puzzles and an eagerness for independence, as she navigates her aspirations and social life in affluent New York. Patty's determination to win a motor car through a puzzle contest sets the stage for her adventures, friendships, and the challenges she encounters along the way. The opening of the book introduces readers to Patty in her cozy study, surrounded by cheerful décor and engaging in a series of whimsical puzzle questions that signal her curious nature. Alongside her stepmother Nan, we see her struggle with various riddles while preparing for her mother's reception. As the narrative unfolds, Patty's interactions with family and friends reveal her energetic personality, and hints at the close bond she shares with her friends Roger, Kenneth, and the shy but talented Christine. The dynamic of their relationships and Patty's ambitious goal of obtaining the motor car are both central themes that set the tone for the unfolding story, promising readers a delightful mix of humor, intrigue, and the exploration of young adulthood in a spirited manner.
