| Summary | "Penny Plain" by O. Douglas is a novel set in the early 20th century that explores themes of family, community, and the simplicity of life. The story revolves around the Jardine family, particularly Jean Jardine, who is responsible for her two younger brothers, David and Jock, as well as Gervase "Mhor" Taunton, a charming young boy they have taken in. It delves into the everyday life of this small town in Scotland, highlighting their relationships, aspirations, and the challenges they face as they navigate life together. The opening of "Penny Plain" introduces the reader to the quaint town of Priorsford on a chilly October afternoon, setting a vivid scene that paints a picture of both the landscape and the societal dynamics at play. Inside the Jardine's modest home, we meet the family gathering for tea, a poignant moment of connection and nostalgia as they prepare for David's departure to Oxford. Jean's mixed emotions of joy and sorrow as she supports her brother's endeavors, along with the playful antics of the younger siblings, set a warm, familial tone. The narrative hints at their financial struggles and the deeper bonds that hold them together amid uncertainty, emphasizing the value of love and support in difficult times.
