Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Susan" by Amy Walton is a charming children's novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows an 11-year-old girl named Susan, who is left in the care of her Great-Aunt Hannah while her mother takes her chronically ill brother, Freddie, to a warmer climate for the winter. Set against the backdrop of her relocation to Ramsgate, the narrative explores Susan's experiences as she adjusts to life away from home and navigates new relationships, particularly with her peculiar cousin Sophia Jane. At the start of the story, Susan's mixed emotions about being separated from her family are palpable as she prepares to leave London. The opening introduces her shy nature and her sense of wonder about the seaside, contrasting it with her anxieties about her unknown aunt and the girls she will meet. As she arrives at her aunt’s home, she is immediately enveloped in the unusual dynamics of her new surroundings and the character of Sophia Jane, who is equally curious and somewhat unsettling. The beginning sets the stage for the unfolding adventures and lessons in friendship, loyalty, and personal growth that Susan will experience throughout her time in Ramsgate.
