Mary Marie diary of a girl in double life
Mary narrates her life as Mary and Marie under court custody. Her father Dr. Anderson, a famed astronomer, treats her as a problem to study rather than a daughter, while Aunt Jane insists on schooling and proper conduct. She longs for Boston and her mother’s social world, writes of social suitors, and frets over a future under a rule-bound routine.
