| Summary | "The Putnam Tradition" by Sonya Dorman is a fictional narrative written in the early 1960s. This evocative story centers around the generational legacy of the Putnam family, specifically exploring themes of tradition, family ties, and the clash between old customs and modern influences. The narrative unfolds in a coastal house passed down through the matriarchs of the family, where the tension between maintaining heritage and embracing change comes to the forefront. The plot follows the lives of three generations of Putnam women: Cecily, the traditional grandmother; Simone, the granddaughter, who struggles with her sense of identity amid modernity; and Nina, the great-granddaughter, who possesses unique abilities that symbolize both the potential for evolution and the fear of disrupting the deeply rooted family legacy. As Simone navigates her love for her husband Sam, an engineer symbolizing a new age, she grapples with her grandmother's concerns about their family's strength fading. The climax revolves around Nina's extraordinary powers, representing both wonder and fear. Ultimately, the story concludes with a glimmer of hope as the bond between the past and future solidifies, showing that while traditions may evolve, they remain inherently connected.
