Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book plunges readers into the lively world of late 19th-century America, where societal expectations clash with the spirited nature of a young girl named Fanny. Fanny, much to her stepmother's dismay, prefers climbing trees and chasing butterflies to embracing the demure femininity expected of her age and social standing. Her rebellious spirit and unyielding independence create a constant source of conflict, ultimately leading to a dramatic decision - sending Fanny away to Miss Reymar's Collegiate Institute, a boarding school renowned for its strict discipline and transformative influence. The narrative delves into themes of conformity, rebellion, and the complexities of family dynamics during a time of evolving social norms. As Fanny navigates the challenges of boarding school life, she encounters a cast of characters, both supportive and antagonistic, who shape her understanding of herself and the world around her. The author's keen observations and vivid descriptions bring to life the tensions between individual freedom and societal pressures, offering a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to tame a "tomboy" in a world on the cusp of change. Ultimately, this book invites readers to contemplate the enduring questions of identity, societal expectations, and the transformative power of education.
