| Summary |
"The Romance of My Childhood and Youth" by Juliette Adam is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book reflects on the author's formative years, vividly recounting her experiences growing up in a family rich in eccentricity and romance. It delves into the complex relationships she shared with significant figures in her life, particularly her grandmother and father, while painting a broader picture of the societal influences of her time. At the start of the memoir, the author introspects on her remarkable memories from childhood, establishing a reflective tone. She shares early insights into her upbringing under the care of her grandmother, who infused a passion for adventure and romance into her life. This duality of affection from both her grandmother and her father leads her to contemplate her own identity amidst their contrasting influences.
