| Summary | "Apron-Strings" by Eleanor Gates is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the complex dynamics between mothers and daughters, illuminating the various types of mothers that exist. Central to the narrative are the characters of Mrs. Milo and her daughter, Susan, along with a cast of supporting characters, including a bride named Hattie and the parish’s new rector, Mr. Farvel, weaving together themes of familial love and societal expectation. The opening of the book introduces us to the setting of a parish rectory as preparations are made for Hattie's wedding. Various conversations unfold, revealing the personalities and backgrounds of the characters, particularly focusing on Mrs. Milo, who exhibits a controlling and somewhat judgmental nature, contrasting with the more open-hearted and nurturing qualities of Susan. As Sue interacts with the orphan boys from the nearby orphanage, the underlying tensions between her and her mother become evident, suggesting deeper themes of maternal expectations and social responsibilities. The dialogue is rich with humor and light-heartedness, juxtaposed with poignant moments, setting the stage for the emotional developments to follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
