| Summary | "The Song of Songs" by Hermann Sudermann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins with the story of a young girl named Lilly, who grows up in a challenging household dominated by her father's artistic ambitions and subsequent disappearance. The book explores themes of family dynamics, personal aspirations, and the societal constraints imposed on women. The opening portion introduces Lilly as she observes her father's increasingly erratic behavior. With her music-master father disappearing unexpectedly, Lilly and her mother face significant hardships, leading to their eventual financial and emotional decline. The story establishes a poignant contrast between Lilly's innocence and dreams, and her mother's struggles to cope with their father's abandonment and societal expectations. As Lilly evolves from a child to a young woman, her experiences highlight the complexities of love, ambition, and the quest for identity in a world filled with difficulties.
