| Summary |
"Who Cares? A Story of Adolescence" by Cosmo Hamilton is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores the coming-of-age journey of young Joan, who grapples with the constraints of her old-fashioned family life and yearns for freedom and excitement. As Joan navigates the challenges of adolescence, her encounters with love, societal expectations, and personal desires unfold against the backdrop of a world coming to life in spring. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Joan, an eighteen-year-old girl feeling isolated in a household dominated by elderly family members. She expresses her deep dissatisfaction and longing for connection in a letter to her friend Alice, revealing her frustration with the stifling atmosphere of her home. As spring blossoms outside, Joan's inner restlessness grows, igniting a desire for adventure and a rebellion against her confining circumstances. Her life dramatically changes when she meets Martin Gray, a young man who resonates with her youthful spirit. Their initial interactions set the stage for a budding friendship that suggests both companionship and the potential for love, prompting Joan to dream of a life filled with the vibrancy and opportunities she craves.
