"Janet, a Twin" by Dorothy Whitehill is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Janet Page, a spirited and imaginative young girl growing up in the coastal village of Old Chester, navigating her relationships with friends, family, and her own sense of identity. The book appears to focus on childhood adventures, family expectations, and the search for belonging, especially as Janet struggles with feeling different from others her age while yearning for companionship and understanding. The opening of the novel introduces Janet as a bold and independent character, distinguishing herself through a series of interactions: she saves a dog from a snake, clashes gently with her timid friend Harry, and contemplates her own loneliness. We are shown her strained relationship with her strict grandmother Mrs. Page, her longing for a sibling closer to her own age, and her escape into daydreams and secret places like the "widow's walk" and a deserted house she calls her "Kingdom." Janet befriends the mysterious boy Peter, finds an unlikely ally in the outspoken Mrs. Todd, and faces exclusion from her peers at a local fair before finding confidence in her uniqueness. Throughout these chapters, Janet's longing for connection and adventure is contrasted with the expectations and limitations of her world, setting the stage for her growth and the promise of deeper family bonds.
