| Summary | "Coquette" by Frank Swinnerton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to the main character, Sally Minto, a young girl navigating the gritty realities of poverty and her tumultuous home life marked by her father’s alcoholism and eventual death. As she grapples with her discontent and aspirations, Sally's tale unfolds against a backdrop of her complicated relationships and yearning for independence and romance. At the start of the novel, we meet Sally as she observes the world outside her cramped living space, feeling drawn to the excitement and dangers of the street life. Life at home is bleak; her mother, Mrs. Minto, struggles with exhaustion and a lack of resources, while Sally's father has succumbed to his vices. Following her father's tragic death, a turning point is reached that forces Sally into a stark confrontation with reality and ignites a fierce determination within her. She begins to strategize ways to escape her poverty and find a better future, even as she becomes entangled with a young man named Toby, whose presence both intrigues and complicates her budding independence. This opening sets the stage for a coming-of-age story filled with ambition, hardship, and the quest for self-worth. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
