"And Both Were Young" by Madeleine L'Engle is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Philippa Hunter, affectionately known as Flip, who struggles to adapt to life at a boarding school in Switzerland after the death of her mother. As she navigates her feelings of homesickness, insecurity, and resentment towards her father's companion, Eunice, Flip yearns for independence and the opportunity to pursue her passion for art, all while forming a connection with a boy named Paul Laurens. The opening of the novel introduces Flip's inner turmoil against the backdrop of the picturesque setting of Lake Geneva and the imposing Chateau de Chillon. After a chance encounter with Paul by the lake, she shares her frustration about being sent away to school and finds solace in their budding friendship. As she attempts to acclimate to her new environment, feelings of isolation and longing for her father emerge, coupled with her desire to maintain her individuality amidst the challenges of adolescence and the strictures of boarding life. This opening portion establishes the themes of youth, artistic aspiration, and the quest for understanding and connection in a world that often feels confining.
