Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The White Kami: A Novel" by Edward Alden Jewell is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Stella, a discontented young woman grappling with feelings of failure and longing for a more glamorous life. Through her interactions with family, including her practical sister Maud and their cheerful Aunt Alice, Stella's yearning for romance and excitement is established, setting the stage for her quest for fulfillment. The opening of the novel introduces Stella as she navigates her mundane life and explores her complex emotions towards her friend Elsa and her fiancé Jerome. While preparing for the day, Stella’s dissatisfaction becomes apparent, making her reminisce about an idealized version of life filled with romance and adventure. Her subsequent visit to Elsa, contrasted by the carefree lifestyle of her friend, merely amplifies her feelings of inadequacy. As the chapter unfolds, readers witness the stark reality of her existence juxtaposed with her extravagant aspirations, foreshadowing a pivotal turning point in her journey towards self-discovery and love.
