| Summary |
"’Possum’" by Mary Grant Bruce is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Macleod family, particularly focusing on young Garth, as they transition from their comfortable life in the city to the challenges of living in a rural Australian setting. The initial chapters highlight themes of change, family dynamics, and the contrast between urban comforts and the ruggedness of country life. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to Tom and Aileen Macleod, who are dealing with the ramifications of their son Garth’s illness. After a conversation with their physician, Dr. Metcalf, it becomes clear that Garth's health may improve if they move to the countryside. As Aileen expresses her fears about adapting to a new lifestyle away from the comforts of the city, the couple ultimately decides to take the leap into rural living. The beginning details their departure from their beautiful home filled with flowers and the stark contrast to the messiness of their new abode, evoking both a sense of adventure and trepidation as they embark on this new chapter in their lives.
