Square Pegs is a novel written by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney. The story centers around the lives of two sisters, Margaret and Ruth, who are very different from one another. Margaret is a conformist, who follows the rules and traditions of society, while Ruth is a rebel, who wants to break free from those rules and live life on her own terms. The book explores the struggles and conflicts that arise between the sisters as they try to navigate their way through life. Along the way, they encounter various characters, including a young man named John, who becomes a love interest for both sisters. The novel is a commentary on the societal expectations placed on women during the 19th century and the challenges they faced in breaking free from those expectations. Square Pegs is a thought-provoking and engaging read that offers insight into the complexities of family relationships and the struggle for individuality.1899. American poet and writer of books for girls, Adeline Dutton (Train) Whitney, whose theme was that a woman's happiest place was in the home. Of course, that home was always well off and occupied by good people wanting to do the right thing. Square Pegs begins: A common kitchen garden and small orchard plantation ran down from before the back stoop to the rough fence that shut off a bit of meadow. Beyond the meadow strip, hidden under low, weedy banks, where alders grew and blackbirds nested in the tangled coverts, scampered a bright little brook, making its own music all the time, accompanied in the day by the whistle and chirr of the restless winged creatures, and all night long by the booming and shrilling of the frogs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
