| Summary |
"Good-Morning, Rosamond!" by Constance Lindsay Skinner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Rosamond Mearely, a young widow and the wealthiest woman in the small hamlet of Roseborough, as she navigates the complexities of her new life after the passing of her husband, Hibbert Mearely. The book explores themes of societal expectations, personal identity, and the quest for freedom and happiness. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Rosamond's daily life, characterized by strict domestic routines managed by her two long-serving housemaids, Amanda and Jemima Frigget. As Rosamond prepares for her morning routine, tensions arise with her staff regarding her lateness, which uncovers social dynamics and expectations related to her late husband's status. The opening scenes reveal Rosamond's inner thoughts about her past marriage, as well as her determination to embrace her youth and beauty on what she deems her one "Wonderful Day." Amidst her reflections, she eagerly anticipates a future filled with love and adventure, hinting at her desire for liberation from the constraints of her high-society life.
