Summary "Dodo's Daughter: A Sequel to Dodo" by E. F. Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Nadine Waldenech, a vibrant young woman residing in her mother's cottage in North Wales, where a lively group of friends frequently gathers. The narrative explores themes of family dynamics, social relationships, and the complexities of love and identity against a backdrop of humor and wit. The opening of the novel introduces Nadine's unconventional bedroom, previously a smoking room, showcasing her personality and her social circle's dynamics. As the characters engage in light-hearted conversation, they delve into topics like heritage, social class, and personal identities. Nadine contrasts herself with her mother, Dodo, and reflects on their family background, expressing a disdain for conventional notions of gentility tied to lineage. Through her interactions with her friends, including humorous banter with Bertie Arbuthnot and a thoughtful exchange with Hugh Graves, we glimpse her introspective nature, her desire for depth in relationships, and her longing for something more meaningful in life.
