Summary: "Dusty Answer" by Rosamond Lehmann is a novel written in the late 1920s. The story centers around Judith, an imaginative young girl, as she navigates her childhood memories intertwined with her emotions regarding the children who lived next door, particularly Mariella and Charlie. The narrative explores themes of memory, longing, and the complexities of growing up as Judith reflects on her feelings for her childhood companions, set against the backdrop of post-war societal changes. The opening of the novel introduces Judith at the age of eighteen, observing the house next door as it is prepared for new occupants after years of emptiness. Judith reminisces about her friendships with Mariella, Charlie, and their other cousins from her childhood, highlighting her distinct recollections and emotional attachments to them. The once vibrant memories now feel distanced and bittersweet as time has passed and circumstances have changed.
