| Summary | "Robinetta" by Kate Douglas Wiggin, Mary Findlater, Jane Findlater, and Allan McAulay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around the character of Robinette Loring, a young American widow seeking connection with her estranged English relatives, specifically the de Tracy family. It explores themes of identity, family ties, and cultural differences between America and England as Robinette navigates her complex emotions upon her arrival at Stoke Revel Manor. At the start of "Robinetta," the reader is introduced to the quaint setting of Wittisham and the titular character's return to her mother's homeland. Robinette's arrival is marked by an icy reception from her Aunt de Tracy and Miss Smeardon at the Manor. The narrative vividly describes the plum tree that holds significance as a symbol of growth and belonging, while Robinette's interactions with her aunt reveal a stark contrast between her lively spirit and the rigid formality of her relatives. As she yearns for familial warmth and acceptance, her encounters with the old nurse, Mrs. Prettyman, serve to highlight her quest for connection and understanding of her late mother's memories. The opening establishes a foundation for Robinette's journey of self-discovery and the challenges she faces in bridging the gap between her American upbringing and her English heritage.
