As the two women spend time together, they begin to form a bond, despite their vastly different backgrounds.Throughout the novel, Smith explores themes of class, motherhood, and the power of human connection. She also delves into the complexities of relationships between women, particularly those that cross class lines. The novel is set in the late 19th century and provides a glimpse into the social norms and expectations of the time.Overall, Cradle and Armchair is a heartwarming and thought-provoking novel that explores the power of love and human connection to overcome social barriers.
