Summary "The Blue Wall" by Richard Washburn Child is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the mysterious illness affecting a young girl named Virginia Marbury and the intriguing events that unfold around her family and their enigmatic neighbors, the Estabrooks. The narrative hints at themes of struggle against the unknown and the impact of unseen connections, as the protagonist, a surgeon, grapples with the strangeness surrounding the illness and the peculiar blue wall that symbolizes both barriers and unknown possibilities. The opening of the novel establishes a sense of urgency and mystery as the narrator, a surgeon, reflects on his responsibility toward his patient, Virginia, who suffers from meningitis. The surgeon's introspection leads him to wonder about the family's circumstances and the implications of the adjacent house, owned by the Estabrooks. Virginia's peculiar connection to the blue wall – her apparent awareness of something beyond it – sets the stage for the unfolding investigation. As the surgeon seeks answers about Virginia's condition, he discovers a mingling of personal stakes and deeper questions that bind both families. The beginning effectively creates suspense and lays the groundwork for the intricate relationships and secrets that will emerge throughout the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
