"Julia France and Her Times: A Novel" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces Julia Edis, a young debutante in the West Indies, and her formidable mother, Mrs. Edis, who is deeply entrenched in astrology. As Julia enters society, her fate becomes intertwined with that of Harold France, a young officer with a dubious reputation, raising questions about love, ambition, and the expectations placed upon women in society. The opening of the story sets the scene at a ball in St. Kitts, where Julia’s debut is marked by speculation regarding her mother’s astrological beliefs and the social dynamics of the island. As Mrs. Edis observes the attention Julia receives from Lieutenant France, her protective instincts clash with the ambitions she harbors for her daughter. The Captain's warnings about France's character create tension, as Julia herself remains blissfully oblivious to the danger and complexity of the adult world unfolding around her. This poignant and lush opening establishes Julia's innocence and contrasting reality of societal expectations, foreshadowing the journey she will undergo as she learns about love and the ambitions laid before her by her mother and the stars.
