| Summary |
"Polly of Lady Gay Cottage" by Emma C. Dowd is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Polly, a young girl navigating her relationships, family secrets, and personal growth through various challenges in her life. As the narrative unfolds, it particularly highlights her connection with Mr. Bean, an elderly relative who brings unexpected news about her family and a mysterious rosewood box containing cherished memories of her mother. At the start of the book, Polly is filled with excitement while recounting joyful memories with her friends but is soon summoned to the hospital to see Mr. Bean, who has been injured while attempting to deliver a rosewood box belonging to her mother. This box, significant for its contents and the memories it may hold, becomes a catalyst for exploring Polly's past and her familial connections. As various characters fade in and out of her life, including her more privileged cousin Leonora and the troublesome Ilga Barron, Polly's journey of self-discovery and understanding of love and friendship becomes central to the story. The opening sets up themes of longing, identity, and the importance of relationships as Polly seeks to uncover her lineage while dealing with the realities of her current life.
