Summary "The Locusts' Years" by Mary H. Fee is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the characters of Judge Alexander Barton, Miss Charlotte Ponsonby, and Martin Collingwood, exploring themes of civilization, social class, and the complexities of human relationships. As the characters navigate their lives, the nuances of societal expectations and personal struggles come to light, particularly through the lens of Miss Ponsonby’s interactions with both men. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Judge Barton, who reflects on the disconnect between refined individuals and the harsh realities of society, particularly regarding Miss Ponsonby, a nurse struggling with her own identity and struggles within a rigid social framework. Her reserved demeanor captivates Collingwood, a young man recovering in the same hospital, who becomes infatuated with her over a shared sense of displacement and longing for connection. The opening chapters set the stage for a romantic tension filled with societal critique, as Miss Ponsonby's quiet strength clashes with the expectations placed upon her by her class and circumstances, leading readers to ponder the cost of personal happiness versus societal acceptance.
