"A Valiant Ignorance; vol. 2 of 3" by Mary Angela Dickens is a novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative seems to revolve around the complexities of social relationships, particularly focusing on Julian Romayne and the emotional dynamics between him, his mother Mrs. Romayne, and Marston Loring. The story delves into themes of independence, societal expectations, and personal identity as the characters navigate their connections and the expectations imposed upon them. The opening of the novel sets an atmospheric tone, illustrating the transition of Julian's character as he grapples with his mood and independence following a period of unrest. The narrative intricately captures the subtleties of his interactions with his mother, Mrs. Romayne, who appears to be strained yet eager to maintain a cheerful demeanor despite her anxieties about Julian's well-being and social engagements. We are introduced to Julians' growing connection with a workgirl named Clemence, which introduces elements of class disparity and the potential for emotional conflict as Julian attempts to carve out a separate identity. The relationship dynamics are further complicated by the presence of Loring, whose sardonic air and often cynical observations cast a critical eye on Julian's life choices. This opening sets the stage for deeper explorations of morality, familial bonds, and personal aspirations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 70.3 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
