| Summary | "Jane--Our Stranger: A Novel" by Mary Borden is a recent fiction work published in the early 20th century. The narrative appears to explore themes of identity, belonging, and the struggles within familial relationships through the lens of its central character, Jane, and her complex ties with her mother and the people around her. The story kicks off with reflections on Jane's life and how her surroundings shape her experience of love and alienation, hinting at deeper layers of conflict and insight regarding her character. The opening of the novel introduces a reflective and somewhat melancholic tone as we meet the narrator, who is Jane’s crippled brother, contemplating the strange presence Jane has had in their lives. He muses over her marriage to his brother Philibert, her time in Paris, and her significance both in their lives and in a broader societal context. The passage notes the intricacies of Jane's relationships—especially with her mother, Mrs. Carpenter—and highlights her longing for understanding and acceptance. As Jane's world evolves—with the contrast between her American upbringing and her experiences in Paris—there's a palpable tension between her past innocence and the complexities of her new life, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of her character in the chapters to come.
