| Summary | "The Privet Hedge" by J. E. Buckrose is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on two middle-aged sisters, Miss Ethel and Mrs. Bradford, who live in a quaint cottage overshadowed by the rapid development of their seaside town, Thorhaven. As they face the encroachment of modernity and the loss of their cherished home, their lives intertwine with younger characters like Caroline, a girl seeking independence, which deepens the novel's exploration of change, societal expectations, and the dynamics of familial relationships. The opening of the book introduces the Misses Canute, Ethel and her married sister, contemplating the potential disruption to their lives as new houses threaten to encroach on their pastoral home. Ethel expresses her dismay over the "For Sale" sign in the field behind their cottage, while both sisters reflect on change and the passage of time. Their conversation reveals their contrasting personalities and coping mechanisms regarding impending change. Meanwhile, the narrative introduces Caroline, who yearns for freedom and independence from traditional servitude, illustrating the shifting societal norms and personal choices that intertwine with the sisters' lives, setting the stage for broader themes of adaptation and resilience.
