The Great Experience by Julia Farr
"The Great Experience" by Julia Farr is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on themes of personal growth, faith, and community, particularly through the experiences of new converts to the "Mormon" faith who relocate to Ephraim, Utah. Central to the narrative is the character of young Betty Emmit, whose innocence and deep emotions are explored as she navigates the complexities of life in a tight-knit, religious community.
The opening portion of the novel introduces Ephraim as a welcoming community and introduces the Emmit family, who are deeply involved in the everyday lives and struggles of its inhabitants. We witness Betty's poignant grief over the loss of her kitten, Tinkey, revealing her tender heart and imaginative nature. The dynamics of family and friendship are established as Betty engages with her family and the newly arrived Mrs. Webster Catt, who endeavors to bring social reforms to the area. This portion sets the stage for exploring the intersection of faith, familial responsibilities, and personal aspirations within a close-knit society, suggesting a rich tapestry of characters and experiences that promise to engage the reader deeply.
