Summary: "Vehnäprinsessa" by Jean Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set primarily in Italy and revolves around the life of Marcia Copley, the daughter of an American millionaire who is spending her summer in an Italian villa. The novel explores themes of wealth, desire, and cultural contrasts as Marcia navigates her new surroundings and interacts with various characters, including her aristocratic neighbors. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the idyllic setting of Castel Vivalanti, with a rich history of its own, where Marcia and her family are planning to spend their summer. In the opening scenes, Marcia arrives at a social gathering filled with diplomats and artists, where she draws attention for her beauty and her status as the wheat king’s daughter. As conversations unfold, Marcia's interactions hint at her complex personality, balancing confidence with a degree of naivety about her surroundings and the people within them.
