Summary "Miss McDonald" by Mary Jane Holmes is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Daisy McDonald and her tumultuous life after marrying Guy Thornton, who is significantly older than her and has certain expectations of their relationship. Through the perspective of Frances Thornton, Guy's sister, and the diaries of Daisy and Guy, the narrative explores themes of love, expectations, social status, and the complications that arise from misunderstandings and immaturity in marriage. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Frances Thornton, who reflects on her growing concerns over her brother Guy's choice to marry the young and seemingly naive Daisy. Frances feels eclipsed and worried about the impending dynamics in their household, particularly how Daisy’s youth and beauty will alter the family. As she prepares for the wedding and navigates with unease the inevitabilities of Daisy’s frivolity and Guy’s infatuation, we see the seeds of conflict regarding expectations, maturity, and the consequences of choices being planted. The narrative sets a rich backdrop of character emotions and societal pressures that will likely unfold in tragic and significant ways as the story progresses.
