"Blindfold" by Orrick Johns is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the intricacies of human relationships and societal expectations through the lives of its characters, primarily focusing on Ellen Sydney, a resilient woman navigating the complexities of her role within the Meadowburn family and her relationship with a young boy, Potter Osprey. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Ellen as she tends to a burgeoning garden in her new home, highlighting her connection to nature and nurturing qualities. We see glimpses of the Meadowburn household, where Ellen serves almost as a member yet is treated as a servant. Her interactions with Potter Osprey reveal a budding friendship marked by both innocence and the burdens of maturity, as they discuss school, life, and aspirations amidst the backdrop of their respective social statuses. As the narrative unfolds, themes of loyalty, societal roles, and hidden desires begin to loom over their interactions, setting the stage for future conflicts and emotional challenges.
