Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Girls of Rivercliff School; or, Beth Baldwin's Resolve" by Amy Bell Marlowe is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Beth Baldwin, who is determined to pursue her education and become self-supporting through teaching, despite her family's challenging financial circumstances. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Beth as she converses with her friend Mary Devine about the recent return of Larry Haven, a local youth who has succeeded in law school. This news prompts Beth to reflect on her own aspirations for further education at Rivercliff School, a prestigious institution for girls, which seems financially unattainable for her. The narrative delves into Beth’s hopes and dreams, marked by her determination and resolve to improve her circumstances, particularly as a conversation with Larry's mother reveals the class distinctions that complicate her ambitions and relationships. The opening sets the stage for themes of perseverance, social status, and the importance of education in the lives of young women during this era.
