| Summary | "A Winter in Retirement, or Scattered Leaves" by Hannah Blaney Washburn is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in the context of two sisters, Susan and Mary, as they navigate the challenges posed by the winter season under the care of their pious aunt near the New England coast. The story likely explores themes of familial bonds, the passage of time, and the contrast between youthful exuberance and the sobering realities of life. The opening of the book introduces readers to the setting and the melancholic thoughts of young Susan, who laments their situation after being separated from her ill father. Meanwhile, her more optimistic sister, Mary, tries to evoke fond memories of their summers spent among the apple trees and the beach. As they arrive at their aunt's home, the dreary weather contrasts sharply with the warm welcome they receive from family, hinting at the potential joys and challenges of their winter together. The narrative sets a tone of nostalgia and resilience, inviting readers to explore the unfolding dynamics of the sisters' relationship in a time of change.
