QR code
"Mary Cary: Frequently Martha" by Kate Langley Bosher is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Mary Cary, a spirited orphan living in the Yorkburg Female Orphan Asylum, as she navigates her feelings of longing for a family, her disdain for the oppressive Miss Bray, and her admiration for the nurturing Miss Katherine, who brings warmth and kindness to her life. This coming-of-age tale promises
to explore themes of self-discovery and the search for belonging amidst the trials of growing up in an orphanage. The opening of the book introduces Mary Cary as she recounts her experiences in the asylum with a candid and often humorous voice. We learn about her rebellious nature, particularly towards authority figures like Mr. Gaffney, and her deep-seated desire for a family, expressed through her reflections on her late parents. As Mary navigates her daily life, she fills her diary with observations on the other children and the adults they interact with, hinting at her perceptive understanding of human behavior. Miss Bray's strict demeanor serves as a foil to the compassionate presence of Miss Katherine, who soon becomes a pivotal figure in Mary's life, inspiring her to think more about herself and her future amidst the challenges of being an orphan.
