Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Little Girl in Old Washington" by Amanda M. Douglas is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on a young girl named Annis Bouvier as she navigates her new life in Washington, D.C., after her mother remarries. This narrative touches upon themes of family dynamics, youthful ambitions, and societal changes following the American Revolution. At the start of the novel, Annis is introduced as a shy and wistful girl who struggles with her new identity and family after moving to a large house with her mother and step-siblings in Virginia. The opening chapter paints a vibrant picture of her new surroundings, describing the interactions among the children, the welcoming atmosphere created by their father, and the challenges of her new familial relationships. Annis feels torn between her old life and her new one, grappling with feelings of jealousy towards her step-siblings and yearning for her mother's undivided affection. This sets the stage for her journey of growth and adaptation in a rich historical context.
