| Summary |
"Lover or Friend" by Rosa Nouchette Carey is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces the Blake family, particularly focusing on the interrelations and conversations within the Ross family and their acquaintances. Central characters include the energetic Audrey Ross and her poised sister Geraldine, alongside the recently arrived widow Mrs. Blake and her children, who present a contrast to the Ross family lifestyle. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Ross family dynamics and their discussions regarding the Blakes, new inhabitants in their community. Audrey's impulsive nature shines through as she visits the Blakes to offer help, contrasting with her more cautious sister. The opening chapters explore themes of social propriety, family loyalty, and the warmth of emerging friendships amidst the backdrop of societal expectations and personal struggles. Audrey's first encounter with the Blakes, along with her sister's wary observations, sets the stage for further developments and interactions that promise emotional depth and character growth.
