About this book
In the early 20th century, societal norms began to shift, challenging traditional roles and expectations. "Laughing Last" by Jane Abbott captures the essence of this transformative era through the eyes of Sidney Romley, a 15-year-old girl grappling with her identity as the daughter of a celebrated poet. As she navigates her feelings of alienation, Sidney yearns for adventure and the unalienable rights to self-discovery and independence. This compelling novel delves into themes of rebellion against societal constraints and the quest for personal freedom. Ideal for students and civic activists, "Laughing Last" invites readers to reflect on the courage it takes to forge one's own path amidst the echoes of familial legacy.
