| Summary | "Introduction to Sally" by Elizabeth Von Arnim is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the characters Mr. and Mrs. Pinner and their daughter, Sally, exploring themes of beauty, anxiety, and familial dynamics. As Mr. Pinner grapples with his daughter’s extraordinary beauty and the complications it brings, we witness the unfolding of Sally’s life as she navigates her emerging identity amidst parental concerns and societal expectations. The opening portion introduces us to Mr. Pinner, a man driven by respectability and fear, who struggles with the challenges of his marriage and the beauty of his daughter, Sally. Despite initial hopes for parental stability, Mrs. Pinner's death thrusts the responsibility of raising Sally onto Mr. Pinner, who reacts by attempting to shield her from unwanted male attention that her beauty attracts. As Sally grows into a stunning young woman, her parents' fears intensify, leading to their decision to relocate in hope of achieving a quieter life. However, their troubles are exacerbated by the inevitable consequences of Sally's beauty, ultimately leading us to the exploration of familial love, anxiety, and the desire for autonomy.
