| Summary | "A Voyage of Consolation" by Sara Jeannette Duncan is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows Mamie Wick, the protagonist who reflects on her past experiences in England and her broken engagement to Arthur Greenleaf Page. As she embarks on a journey to Europe with her family, the narrative explores themes of cultural differences, personal identity, and the complexities of relationships. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Mamie, who has returned to Chicago after a delightful time in England, only to find her engagement to Arthur dissolving shortly thereafter. Her humorous and introspective voice sets the tone as she recounts her experiences and musings, including her interactions with Arthur and her thoughts on American versus British social customs. Amidst the family dynamics, Mamie's mother insists on reconciling her with Arthur, which leads to their planned trip to Europe. The stage is set for Mamie’s adventures as they begin their travels across the Atlantic, eagerly anticipating what awaits them while grappling with unresolved feelings and family expectations.
