| Summary | "The Melting of Molly" by Maria Thompson Daviess is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the protagonist, Molly Carter, a young widow navigating her new life and the complications of love, social expectations, and self-image. As she grapples with feelings of loneliness and the pressures of her past, she sets out on a personal journey towards rediscovery and self-acceptance. At the start of the novel, we meet Molly as she reflects on her life as a widow and her aspirations to regain her former beauty and happiness. She grapples with memories of her late husband while also dealing with the return of a past crush, Alfred Bennett, who plans to visit after years abroad. With the help of the local doctor, John Moore, Molly embarks on a weight loss regimen to prepare herself for Alfred's homecoming, setting the stage for humorous and heartfelt situations. As she attempts to balance her desires and societal pressures, the dynamic between her, Alfred, and Doctor Moore hints at developing romantic tensions, leaving readers curious about how Molly will ultimately choose to navigate her complex emotional landscape.
