Carolyn Wells
A novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Patty Fairfield, a young debutante, as she experiences the joys and challenges of her social coming-out season in New York City. The narrative captures her interactions with friends and family as she navigates the complexities of social expectations, friendships, and budding romance. The opening of the book introduces readers to Patty in her lavishly decorated drawing-room, overwhelmed by the influx of flowers sent by admirers to celebrate her debut. With her energetic personality and charming naiveté, Patty humorously contemplates the sheer volume of the floral gifts, reflecting both her popularity and the pressures of social recognition. As she prepares for her debut party, she interacts with her friends, showcasing her lively spirit and lightheartedness despite the serious implications of ''coming out.'' This sets the tone for a story filled with youthful exuberance, social commentary, and the beginnings of romantic intrigue.
