Dowd is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Polly Dudley, a young woman navigating her relationships and personal growth amidst the complexities of love, friendship, and societal expectations. In the opening chapters, we are introduced to Polly, her love interest David, and the unfolding dynamics of their connection as they struggle with jealousy, misunderstandings, and the challenges of young adulthood. The opening of the book sets the stage with a significant walk between Polly and David, highlighting the tension in their relationship as David grapples with jealousy over Polly's interactions with other boys. This emotional backdrop creates an atmosphere of uncertainty for Polly, who is equally perplexed by David’s mood swings. As the narrative progresses, we see Polly's character evolve; she is caught between her desire for independence and the constraints imposed by her feelings for David. The initial chapters delve into themes of trust, freedom, and self-discovery, as Polly begins to articulate her need for autonomy even while being deeply entwined in her romantic feelings.
