Summary "Adrienne Toner: A Novel" by Anne Douglas Sedgwick is a literary fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the compelling character Adrienne Toner, an American girl whose arrival at Coldbrooks intrigues the established company of residents, including Roger Oldmeadow and Barney Chadwick. Themes of class, charm, and the complexities of relationships emerge, set against a backdrop of early modern social dynamics. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Roger Oldmeadow and his friend Barney Chadwick, who is eager to bring Roger to Coldbrooks to meet Adrienne Toner, a remarkable American girl. Intrigued yet skeptical, Roger learns about Adrienne's past and unique abilities, including her power to bring people together and heal with her presence. As others in the Chadwick family react to her, we see initial tension with Nancy Averil, who harbors feelings for Barney, adding a layer of complexity. The opening chapters establish not only Adrienne’s enigmatic charm and what she might mean for the Chadwick family’s future, but also hint at deeper social implications and the differing perceptions of the characters towards this new, potentially transformative influence.
