The Bent Twig is a coming-of-age novel written by Dorothea Frances Canfield Fisher and published in 1915. The story follows the life of a young girl named Evangeline, who grows up in a small town in Vermont. Evangeline is the daughter of a strict, religious father and a loving, but submissive mother. She is a bright and curious child, but her father's strict rules and expectations make it difficult for her to explore the world around her.As Evangeline grows older, she becomes increasingly aware of the limitations placed on her by her father and the society in which she lives. She begins to rebel against these restrictions and seeks out new experiences and relationships. She falls in love with a young man named Jack, who is from a different social class and religion than her own. This relationship challenges Evangeline's beliefs and forces her to confront the prejudices and biases of her community.Throughout the novel, Evangeline struggles to find her place in the world and to reconcile her desire for independence with the expectations of her family and society. The Bent Twig is a poignant and insightful exploration of the complexities of growing up and the challenges of breaking free from the constraints of tradition and convention.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
