Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century American agrarian landscape, the novel employs a light-hearted yet poignant prose style, interspersed with wit and satire, reflecting the evolving context of women's roles in society. The narrative deftly intertwines elements of romance and self-discovery as it explores the struggles of those tied to the land, embodying both the beauty and hardships of rural life. Jean Webster, best known for her beloved novel "Daddy-Long-Legs," was an American author and ardent advocate for social reform, particularly in the fields of education and women's rights.
