Jeremy (1920)

Jeremy is a novel written by Hugh Walpole and published in 1920. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the life of a young boy named Jeremy Cole. Jeremy is an orphan who is sent to live with his uncle and aunt in a small English town. He is a sensitive and imaginative child who struggles to fit in with his new family and the other children in the town. As Jeremy grows up, he becomes increasingly isolated and withdrawn, finding solace in his love for literature and art. He develops a close friendship with a local girl named Mary Amberley, but their relationship is complicated by the disapproval of Mary's mother and the class differences between them. The novel explores themes of love, friendship, class, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. Walpole's vivid descriptions of the English countryside and his nuanced portrayal of the characters make Jeremy a compelling and thought-provoking read.
