| Summary |
"Truthful Jane" by Florence Morse Kingsley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Jane Evelyn Aubrey-Blythe, a young governess who struggles against her miserable circumstances while living in a wealthy household, where she is treated more like a servant than family. Jane's journey is marked by her strong will to assert her independence and the desire for a better life, as she grapples with her complicated relationships and the constraints imposed by her social class. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Jane, who feels out of place and unhappy in her life as a governess to her cousin's unruly children. Despite her beauty and spirit, she is undervalued and mistreated by her relatives, particularly her Aunt Agatha. The opening chapters set up her internal struggles and discontent, revealing her yearning for freedom and a more fulfilling existence. This emotional turmoil culminates in her decision to leave the house and venture to America in search of a new life, showcasing her determination to escape the confines of her current situation.
