Summary | "The Life of Nancy" by Sarah Orne Jewett is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Nancy Gale, a young girl from a rural area in eastern Massachusetts, who navigates her first visit to Boston, where she encounters different aspects of city life and forms connections with new acquaintances, particularly Tom Aldis. The opening of the novel introduces the pastoral setting of eastern Massachusetts and juxtaposes it with the bustling life of Boston. As the story begins, Nancy travels into the city with her uncle Ezra, filled with wonder and excitement. Serendipitously, she meets Tom Aldis, who is eager to show her around and engage with her. Their budding interaction hints at themes of friendship and youthful innocence as Nancy expresses her homesickness while enjoying her new experiences. Through lively dialogue and observant descriptions, Jewett captures the differences between rural and urban life and highlights the authenticity of Nancy's character against the backdrop of her adventures in Boston.
