| Summary | "The Melting of Molly" by Maria Thompson Daviess is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Molly, a widow navigating the complexities of her emotions and social expectations after the death of her husband, Mr. Carter. The narrative explores themes of love, self-perception, and the struggle for independence within the confines of societal norms. The opening portion introduces us to Molly's vibrant personality and her struggles with self-image, particularly regarding her weight and beauty. Following the arrival of a letter from her past love, Alfred Bennett, who is returning to offer his affection after years abroad, Molly's emotions are reignited. As she contemplates her past and present, she engages in humorous and poignant reflections about her garden, her interactions with her son Billy, and her relationship with Dr. John, who serves both as her physician and a friend. Through her internal monologue, readers gain insight into Molly's character, her dreams, and her desire to reclaim her former self, as well as the complexities of her relationships with the people in her life.
