| Summary | "A Childhood in Brittany Eighty Years Ago" by Anne Douglas Sedgwick is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author’s experiences growing up in Brittany, particularly focusing on her childhood memories of her family, the enchanting landscapes, and the rich cultural environment of the region. Through vivid depictions of her ancestors and childhood companions, it offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past. At the start of the memoir, Sedgwick introduces herself as Sophie, born in 1833 in the town of Quimper. She reflects on her early memories, such as her beloved but ugly doll and the affectionate bond with her father, who instilled in her a love for music. The narrative describes the family's home, the presence of her strict yet loving grandmother, Bonne Maman, and the various relatives in her life, including her proud mother and whimsical aunt. This opening portion sets a fond tone, inviting readers into a world filled with cherished memories, family dynamics, and the beauty of Brittany's landscape.
