Summary | "A Houseful of Girls" by Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the lively and spirited Rendell sisters—Christabel, Maud, Lilias, Elsie, Agatha, and Nan—who navigate the complexities of their domestic lives and friendships during the Edwardian era. The narrative explores their individual personalities and talents while delving into themes of family, sisterhood, and the daily challenges they face. The opening of the novel introduces the six sisters and their charmingly chaotic household, highlighting their unique characteristics and the dynamics of their interactions. Each sister has her distinctive role: Maud is musical, Elsie is reflective, and Christabel is the youngest with grand ambitions. The sisters engage in lively discussions about their future plans, including a charitable sale they want to organize, which promises to provide a glimpse of their ambitions and aspirations. The narrative sets a lighthearted yet insightful tone, establishing a vivid portrait of their lives and relationships while foreshadowing the excitement and challenges that await them as new neighbors move into the nearby Grange.
