Orton, Linda McKeown and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Rose-Garden Husband" by Margaret Widdemer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Phyllis Braithwaite, a twenty-five-year-old librarian who yearns for a life beyond the confines of her job and her station in life, particularly desiring a husband and a rose garden. The narrative explores her frustrations and dreams as she navigates societal expectations and her own aspirations. The opening of the novel introduces Phyllis, affectionately known as the "Liberry Teacher," grappling with her mundane life in a city library where she manages a room full of lively children. As she reflects on her unfulfilled ambitions, a chance encounter with a once-classmate showcases a contrast in their lives: one that has blossomed into wealth and beauty while Phyllis feels worn and overshadowed by her present circumstances. She passionately wishes for not only a husband but a life infused with beauty and leisure, setting the stage for the significant changes that will come when she is unexpectedly approached with a marriage proposal that holds both promise and complexity.
