| Summary | "Least Said, Soonest Mended" by Agnes Giberne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Kitty Phrynne, a young girl who grapples with societal expectations, her own personal growth, and evolving relationships as she encounters love, duty, and the repercussions of her words and actions. Detailed observations and reflections from Kitty about her family dynamics and social interactions set the tone for her journey. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces Kitty's mother, Jane, who often emphasizes the importance of restraint in speech, warning her daughter that too much talk can lead to trouble. This advice resonates throughout Kitty's life, influencing her thoughts and actions as she navigates her teenage years. Alfred Russell, the ticket collector, and his sister Mary become pivotal figures in her life amidst her developing understanding of companionship and responsibility. The opening establishes Kitty’s character as exuberant yet naive, foreshadowing the challenges she will face as she learns the value of words—both spoken and unspoken—on her path to maturity.
