Dodo's Daughter: A Sequel to Dodo

"Dodo's Daughter: A Sequel to Dodo" by E. F. Benson is a story situated in the early 1900s. The book follows Nadine Waldenech, a spirited young woman enjoying life at her mother's cottage in North Wales, a hub for her social group. The story investigates the relationships between family members and friends, as well as the difficulties of love and who you are, all with a funny and smart tone. The book starts by showing Nadine's unique bedroom, which used to be for smoking, which gives you a sense of what she's like and how she relates to her friends. As the characters joke and converse, they talk about important subjects like who they are, where they come from, and what makes them different. Nadine compares herself to her mom, Dodo, and talks about how her family is different, showing how she doesn't care for old-fashioned ideas about being classy because of your family. As she talks and jokes with friends like Bertie Arbuthnot and has thoughtful conversations with Hugh Graves, we see she thinks deeply, wants love to be real, and hopes for something more important in her life.
