| Summary | "An American Girl in London" by Sara Jeannette Duncan is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Mamie Wick, an American girl from Chicago, as she embarks on a journey to London alone after her parents are unable to accompany her. Through her experiences, the book explores cultural contrasts, personal identity, and the unique perspective of an American girl navigating British society. At the start of the narrative, Mamie Wick introduces herself and sets the stage for her adventures in London. She discusses her upbringing, family background, and her motivations for travel, revealing her cheerful and inquisitive nature. As she sails towards her new destination, she grapples with feelings of loneliness and anticipation while reflecting on the curious impression the American girl has left on the English. Upon arrival, her interactions with various characters, from fellow passengers to her distant relative Mrs. Portheris, highlight the humorous and often bewildering cultural differences she encounters, establishing a foundation for the explorations and insights that will follow in her English adventures.
