Summary "The Chinese Coat" by Jennette Lee is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Eleanor More, who is captivated by a striking Chinese coat while at a sale in a department store. The novel explores themes of desire, identity, and self-worth as Eleanor grapples with her aspiration to own the coat and what that transfer of ownership represents in her life. At the start of the book, Eleanor is drawn to a vibrant Chinese coat during a shopping trip but hesitates to purchase it due to financial constraints. She returns home, where her interactions with her husband Richard reveal a supportive yet complex dynamic. Eleanor dreams of the coat that night, reflecting its significance in her psyche, symbolizing her desires for beauty, expression, and perhaps a different life. Her subsequent dismissal of the coat underscores the tension between her material wishes and her sense of practicality and responsibility within the evolving narrative of her life and aspirations.
