Nancy: A Novel
Reading ease score: 80.5 (6th grade). Easy to read.
"Nancy: A Novel" by Rhoda Broughton is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The novel introduces the reader to the lives of the Grey family, particularly focusing on Nancy, who navigates the trials of family dynamics and the complexities of youthful relationships, all while facing the reality of her potential match with the elderly Sir Roger Tempest, a family friend. At the start of the story, we are thrust into the lively household of the Greys, where Nancy and her siblings engage in a chaotic yet heartwarming scene as they attempt to make taffy in their schoolroom. Through playful banter, personality clashes, and a mix of earnestness and humor, the reader gets a glimpse of the family’s dynamics. The arrival of Sir Roger Tempest introduces an element of tension and curiosity, as Nancy grapples with the implications of their relationship and her feelings toward him, setting the stage for her inner conflict regarding marrying a much older man who was once a contemporary of her father. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a tale filled with humor, family antics, and the exploration of love across generations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
