Mary at School and the Diary of Mary Marie
A fragmented synopsis of Eleanor H. Porter’s Mary at School recounts Mary Marie’s birth at Andersonville, family tensions between a scientist father and a distant mother, and her life split between Boston with her mother and schooling under various influences. The text hints at a diary frame later leading to a novel.
