| Summary |
"Aunt Olive in Bohemia" by Leslie Moore is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Miss Olive Mason, a woman in her sixties who embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery and artistic aspiration after inheriting a substantial fortune. This sets her on a path to seek a studio in London, allowing her to pursue her long-held dreams of becoming an artist and engaging with a vibrant new world beyond her mundane past. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a sleepy country town where Miss Mason has lived a sheltered life, marked by a strict upbringing with her eccentric cousin, Miss Stanhope. The narrative details her joyful departure from this life as she boards a train to London, filled with excitement and hope. As she arrives, her charming yet quaint proclivity for life is highlighted by her interactions with those around her, including the cab driver and the ticket agent. In her new studio, Olive starts to feel an invigorating sense of freedom and joy, setting the stage for her encounter with the artistic community in Bohemia, where she will challenge the boundaries of her identity and artistry.
