| Summary | "Diana" by Susan Warner is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in rural New England, centering around a young woman named Diana, who navigates the complexities of her life amid the idyllic yet demanding backdrop of farm life. As the narrative progresses, it hints at her aspirations and relationships within a community that comprises a tapestry of strong characters, including her mother and the newcomers in town. The opening of "Diana" introduces readers to a serene June afternoon, focusing first on Diana as she sits on her doorstep, embodying a blend of youth and duty. We learn about her daily life, characterized by her interactions with her mother who insists on traditional ways of managing their farming household. The tone is light and conversational, showing Diana's boredom with domestic chores, but also her dreams of something beyond her current existence—such as her musings about noble parks. We also see the dynamics of her relationship with her mother, underscored by humor and a hint of teenage rebellion. The chapter paints a vivid picture of life in Pleasant Valley while subtly establishing Diana's character as both contemplative and curious about the world beyond her farm.
