Summary: "Narcissa, or the Road to Rome; In Verona" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Narcissa White as she navigates her simple life, dreams of grandeur, and the unexpected arrival of a young man named Romulus Patten. Set against a backdrop that contrasts the stark realities of her rural existence with her romantic longings, Richards weaves a tale that explores themes of innocence, beauty, and the quest for companionship. At the start of the narrative, Narcissa is introduced as an enchanting yet humble character, feeding turkeys outside her old house and lost in her daydreams about luxurious dresses and the allure of Rome. She has never considered her own beauty and feels quite plain compared to her more conventionally attractive neighbor. Her reverie is interrupted by the arrival of Romulus, who, curious and somewhat charmed, inquires about the road to Rome. As they converse, Narcissa's longing for beauty and adventure becomes apparent, especially when Romulus shares pictures of exquisite roses that excite her imagination. The opening sets the stage for their budding friendship, revealing both characters as seeking something more than their current lives, but also hints at the complexities that lie ahead.
