Summary "The Daughter of the Storage" by William Dean Howells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Forsyth family as they navigate life through the lens of their possessions stored in a warehouse, touching on themes of memory, childhood, and social interactions. The narrative primarily focuses on the experiences of little Charlotte, affectionately known as Tata, and her indecisiveness regarding her toys and relationships. At the start of the novel, the Forsyths are in the process of retrieving their belongings from a storage warehouse in preparation for a summer in America after spending the winter in Paris. As they rummage through trunks filled with various items, Charlotte's delicate nature becomes apparent when she struggles with the notion of sharing and returning gifts to a boy named Peter. This opening scene develops the emotional and social dynamics among the characters, hinting at deeper explorations of relationships, personal growth, and the significance of material possessions in shaping identities and connections.
