The story centers on the life of Honora Leffingwell, a young woman whose upbringing intertwines themes of privilege, aspiration, and the weight of societal expectations. Through her family lineage and experiences, the narrative probes into questions of heritage and identity as Honora navigates her place in a changing world. The opening of the book introduces Honora Leffingwell, detailing her origins in Nice, France, and her early life in St. Louis after the tragic loss of her parents. With her father being a charming and accomplished consul, Honora grapples with the expectations of her heritage and the realities of her upbringing. As she transitions into adolescence, her character is shaped by her aunt Mary and uncle Tom, who provide a nurturing, if modest, environment. The narrative hints at Honora's ambitions and dreams for a life filled with excitement and distinction, contrasting her desires with her family's humble circumstances. Thus, the groundwork is established for a rich exploration of her journey towards self-discovery and fulfillment. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 71.8 (7th grade).
