Tytöistä parhain by Louisa May Alcott
"Tytöistä parhain" by Louisa May Alcott is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Polly Milton, a young girl from a modest background, as she visits the more affluent Shaw family, experiencing a new world filled with social expectations and class differences. The opening of the novel introduces us to Polly's arrival at the Shaw's home, where she is eagerly awaited by Fanny and Tom, Fanny's brother,
who is less enthusiastic about having a girl around. As Polly navigates her new environment, she encounters the complexities of social life and personal relationships, showcasing Alcott's themes of innocence, societal norms, and individuality. Notably, Polly's initial interactions hint at her genuine and down-to-earth nature, contrasting sharply with the more superficial perspectives of her new friends, setting the stage for her character's development amid the challenges of fitting into a wealthier world.
