“Life and Death of Harriett Frean” by May Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the character Harriett Frean, capturing her formative years as she navigates through childhood, adolescence, and eventually adulthood, exploring themes of love, duty, and societal expectations. The opening of the novel unfolds tenderly, revealing glimpses of Harriett's early life, her relationships with her parents, and her inner thoughts as a child. Through vignettes of bedtime routines with her mother and playful exchanges with her father, we see a young Harriett's innocence juxtaposed with her emerging awareness of emotions such as jealousy and longing. As the narrative progresses into her experiences with friendships and conflicts over possessions—specifically, her beloved doll—Sinclair sets the foundation for the complex emotional landscape that will define Harriett's journey. Each scene subtly hints at her struggles with societal norms and the expectations placed upon her as she grows, suggesting that her seemingly idyllic upbringing may have deeper undercurrents that will shape her life choices in the future.
