| Summary | "Concerning Belinda" by Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Belinda, a young woman who has just arrived in New York City to teach at a prestigious boarding school for girls, facing the challenges of adapting to city life and her new responsibilities. The narrative reveals humor and warmth as it unfolds Belinda's experiences with her students and the complexities of school life in a bustling metropolis. At the start of the novel, Belinda is introduced as a determined and capable young lady from Indiana who dreams of success in New York, unhindered by the societal pressures surrounding marriage. Upon her arrival, she struggles with homesickness yet maintains an optimistic outlook. The opening chapters depict her interactions with the school's students and faculty, particularly with the eccentric and romantic Amelia Bowers, and her efforts to manage a group of homesick young women eager to explore their new surroundings. Belinda's journey is complemented by whimsical elements, showcasing her humorous and insightful observations about boarding-school life and the new friendships she begins to forge in the city.
