Dunton is a novel written in the late 1920s. The story is centered around Leona Canwick, a young woman with a unique predicament: she was born a twin, but her and her brother Leon's souls were inadvertently scrambled, resulting in Leona feeling more aligned with boyish pursuits while Leon embodies the more delicate, poetic nature. As the narrative unfolds, it explores themes of identity, societal expectations, and the dynamics between the two siblings as they navigate life, love, and the impending World War. The opening of the novel introduces Leona's quirky and candid perspective on her existence, detailing her childhood, familial relationships, and the significant impact of their mother’s death. It sets the foundation for her rebellious spirit, contrasting her tomboyish nature against the artistic aspirations pushed upon her by their Aunt Elinor. As Leona grapples with the restrictions imposed on her by society and those around her, she desires adventure and independence. The narrative quickly hints at her bold decision to impersonate her brother to allow him to attend a farewell party with his beloved Vyvy, suggesting an intriguing blend of humor and serious undertones as she embarks on this daring escapade within the confines of a military camp, paving the way for further complications and character development.
