Summary: "Larkspur" by Jane Abbott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Patricia Everett, a young girl experiencing loneliness after her mother and sister leave for Florida, forcing her into a world of self-reflection and change. Simultaneously, we are introduced to Renée LaDue, a war orphan from France who is brought to America by a soldier, Capt. Allan, who has promised to care for her after her brother's death in the war. The narrative shows how these two girls' lives intertwine as they navigate their challenges and forge connections. The opening of "Larkspur" sets the stage for a poignant tale of friendship, loss, and personal growth.
