The doings of Doris

"The Doings of Doris" by Agnes Giberne is a story that follows Doris Winton, who must deal with the push and pull from her responsibilities, what her village expects from her, and her dreams of self-reliance. Set in the setting of a small country town during the 1800s, the story begins at Clover Cottage, where we meet Mrs. Brutt, who showers the Winton family with praise, and who creates inner conflicts for Doris. As the rector's daughter, Doris faces a growing tension between what is expected of her and her wish for something more, shown through conversations that reveal family dynamics and the many complicated relationships within the community.
