| Summary | "Harrriet and the Piper" by Kathleen Thompson Norris is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This work delves into themes of social dynamics, love, and the complexities of human relationships within a wealthy family setting, featuring characters like Isabelle Carter, her son Ward, and their family friend Anthony Pope. The narrative explores the tensions between appearances and reality, as well as the emotional struggles faced by its protagonists. The beginning of "Harriet and the Piper" introduces us to Crownlands, a grand estate owned by Richard Carter and his wife, Isabelle. During a serene summer afternoon, Isabelle engages in flirtatious interactions with her son’s friend, Anthony, revealing her troubled desires and her husband's obliviousness. Meanwhile, the narrative also hints at the enchanting yet complicated presence of Harriet Field, the family's secretary, who silently grapples with her own feelings and place within this opulent world. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that numerous interpersonal tensions, generational conflicts, and the potential for romantic entanglements will play pivotal roles in shaping the characters' lives and relationships. Essentially, the opening sets the stage for a deep examination of desire, social constraints, and emotional conflict amidst the backdrop of an affluent lifestyle.
