The Melting of Folly A Widow’s Diary and Dinner Plans
A fragmented 1912 tale centers on Molly Carter in Hillsboro as she navigates widowhood, longing, and social pressures. She recalls her rituals, contemplates a town’s gossip about widows, and plans a grand dinner to lift spirits while anticipating letters from London. A vivid scene unfolds with Billy singing, a sneaking kiss, and Tom’s flirtations as Molly schemes a debut party.
