Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Anxious Audrey" by Mabel Quiller-Couch is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Audrey Carlyle as she grapples with her return to a busy, chaotic home after living with her grandmother for several years. The novel explores themes of family dynamics, responsibilities, and the challenges of adolescence as Audrey faces her discomfort with her family's circumstances. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Audrey and her family as she arrives home to find her mother unwell and the household in disarray. The bustling atmosphere is highlighted by the playful yet chaotic interactions between her siblings and the house staff. Audrey's initial reactions reveal her struggle to adapt to her new environment, filled with the untidiness and noise she had not experienced while living with her grandmother. As Audrey reflects on her desires for order and personal space, her struggle for acceptance and her attempts to help her family become central to the story's unfolding drama.
