| Summary | "Medoline Selwyn's Work" by Mrs. J. J. Colter is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Medoline Selwyn, a young girl who leaves her boarding school in Europe to live with her guardian, Mr. Winthrop, in America. The narrative explores her emotional journey as she adjusts to her new life, navigates societal expectations, and forges connections with both the wealthy and impoverished members of her new community. At the start of the novel, Medoline arrives in Cavendish, feeling a mix of anticipation and anxiety about her new surroundings. As she travels by train, she reflects on her past and her relationships with her deceased parents. Upon reaching her destination, she encounters various characters, including a kind-hearted elderly woman, Mrs. Blake, who shares stories about Medoline's family. The opening chapters establish not only Medoline's vulnerability and longing for connection but also her compassionate nature as she becomes drawn to the struggles of those around her. The interaction between social classes and Medoline's evolving identity sets the stage for a rich exploration of character development and moral themes.
