Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Three Margarets" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a novel written in the late 19th century. This charming tale introduces three cousins, all named Margaret Montfort, who arrive at Fernley House to spend the summer together. The story revolves around their growing friendship as they navigate their differences while discovering the joys and challenges of family and self-identity. At the start of the novel, we meet the three Margarets during a carriage ride in a pleasant summer rain, each dealing with their own thoughts and uncertainties about the impending reunion. The first Margaret, a thoughtful and lively girl, takes the initiative to introduce herself, leading to the discovery that all three girls share the same name due to a family tradition. They quickly settle into Fernley House, where they meet Aunt Faith and learn about each other’s backgrounds, creating a blend of contrasting personalities: Margaret, the nurturing leader; Peggy, the lively and somewhat awkward girl; and Rita, the elegant and somewhat haughty cousin from Cuba. The opening chapters set up their dynamic, challenges, and shared experiences, establishing a foundation for both humorous and heartfelt moments as their summer progresses.
