| Summary |
"Patty in Paris" by Carolyn Wells is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Patricia "Patty" Fairfield, a young woman navigating the transition from her childhood schooling to the broader world as she embarks on an exciting adventure in Paris. Influenced by her loving but well-meaning father and spirited stepmother, she seeks freedom from formal education and yearns for a life filled with music, social gatherings, and friendship in the vibrant atmosphere of Paris. The opening of the book introduces us to the Fairfield family dynamics, particularly the lively debates over Patty's future education. Patty, having graduated with honors, grapples with her father's insistence on further schooling while her devoted stepmother supports her desires for less conventional learning experiences. As the family discusses the possibility of an enriching year abroad, an invitation from another family for Patty to join them in Paris becomes a pivotal turning point. This sets the stage for Patty's journey, highlighting her charm, artistic temperament, and the vibrant friendships she forms on her way to embrace her new life in the City of Lights.
