| Summary | "Eight Cousins; Or, The Aunt-Hill" by Louisa May Alcott is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Rose Campbell, a young girl who, after losing her father, moves in with her great-aunts and navigates her complex new family life. As she adjusts to living with her numerous aunts and her seven cousins, the book explores themes of family, friendship, and childhood adventures against a backdrop of societal expectations and personal growth. The opening of the book introduces Rose, who is dealing with her recent loss and trying to cope with the changes in her life as she stays with her aunts. Feeling lonely and misunderstood, she isolates herself in a parlor filled with somber decor and portraits. As Rose attempts to find solace, her encounter with Phebe, a lively girl working in the household, shifts her mood. Their interaction highlights Rose’s desire for companionship and her search for happiness amidst her troubles. This initial chapter sets the stage for Rose’s journey of self-discovery, showcasing her challenges and the warmth of familial bonds as she learns to embrace her new life.
