"Deadlock: Pilgrimage, Volume 6" by Dorothy M. (Dorothy Miller) Richardson immerses readers in the life of Miriam, a thoughtful young woman living in a boarding house, as she grapples with her sense of self amidst the everyday interactions and quiet moments that make up her world. The story unfolds through Miriam's inner thoughts and her relationships with others, such as Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Gunner, revealing her desires for connection alongside her feelings of isolation and the challenges of finding her place. The author uses a stream-of-consciousness style to explore Miriam's complex emotions, her evolving identity, and the social currents that shape her perceptions, capturing the essence of belonging and the search for personal meaning within the ordinary.
