Summary "Elizabeth, Her Folks" by Barbara Kay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Elizabeth Swift, a young girl struggling to adjust to life with her grandparents on Cape Cod after being sent there while her soldier brother recuperates from the war. The book explores themes of family, identity, and the contrasts between urban and rural life, as Elizabeth navigates her feelings of homesickness and cultural differences. The opening portion of the book introduces Elizabeth as she arrives at her grandparents' home, deeply upset by the rural surroundings and her grandparents' simple, country ways, which are unlike her life in New York. As she sobs in her new bedroom, her grandparents discuss their attempts to welcome her and how they perceive her. Elizabeth's inner turmoil is palpable as she grapples with her identity and expectations while also reflecting on the contrast between her thoughts and the stark reality of her new life. Her interactions with her grandparents and growing awareness of their quirks set the stage for her journey of self-discovery in this unfamiliar yet charming setting.
