| Summary | "Backwater: Pilgrimage, Volume 2" by Dorothy M. Richardson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Miriam Henderson as she navigates her transition from the comforts of home to her new role as a teacher at the Misses Perne's school. Through rich, introspective prose, the book delves into themes of identity, the struggle between modernity and tradition, and the complexity of social interactions. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Miriam's world, characterized by her recent engagement as a teacher and her profound sense of apprehension about her future. Set against a backdrop of bustling life outside—expressed through the clatter of trams and the sight of urban neighborhoods—Miriam grapples with her thoughts during a quiet afternoon in a drawing-room filled with antiquities. As she engages in conversation with the Misses Perne, she reflects on her educational responsibilities and the expectations imposed on her. This portion vividly captures Miriam's dreamy introspection and hints at her uncertainties, setting the stage for her adventures and the emotional growth that lies ahead.
