| Summary | "In Orchard Glen" by Marian Keith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Christina Lindsay, a young woman on the cusp of adulthood, as she navigates her feelings of inadequacy concerning her looks and her aspirations for a more fulfilling life beyond her family farm in a rural community. Through her interactions with her family and neighbors, themes of beauty, ambition, and social expectations begin to unfold. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Christina on her nineteenth birthday, reflecting on her past struggles with her appearance and her unfulfilled ambitions. While picking berries with her brother Sandy, she overhears hurtful comments about her looks, which only serve to deepen her insecurities. Despite this, Christina resolves to improve herself, leading to a chance encounter with Gavin Hume, a boy from a neighboring farm, whom she previously helped. This moment of kindness reveals her compassionate nature amidst her struggles with self-image. The chapter concludes with Christina's thoughts about the future and her aspirations for education and adventure, setting the stage for her journey of personal growth and discovery.
