| Summary | "We Ten" by Barbara Yechton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lively and chaotic Rose family, particularly focusing on the dynamics among the siblings, including Felix, who is lame but exceptionally talented, and Jack, who narrates their family adventures. As they navigate sibling rivalry, family loyalty, and personal aspirations, the children grapple with deeper themes of parental expectations and the legacy of their deceased mother. The beginning of the book introduces us to the Rose family's bustling home life through the eyes of Jack, who describes their council discussions concerning Felix's limited opportunities for college. This opening segment showcases the vibrant and noisy interactions among the siblings, characterized by their distinct personalities and playful banter. As tensions rise over various disputes, Felix's heartbreak about being excluded from college becomes a central theme, leading to heartfelt moments where the children express their love and support for one another. The lively interplay of humor and family loyalty sets the stage for a rich exploration of their lives and aspirations. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
