'Treasure' Summary
'Treasure' delves into the Salisbury family's experience with the modern maid, Justine. Mrs. Salisbury, clinging to traditional notions of domestic service, finds herself challenged by Justine's education and her more contemporary perspective. The family dynamic shifts as Mr. Salisbury and their daughter, Alexandra, embrace Justine's capabilities and the changing times. The story highlights the clash between tradition and modern thinking, as Mrs. Salisbury navigates her own evolving views on the role of women and societal expectations. The novel offers a glimpse into the changing social landscape, the complexities of class dynamics, and the evolving definition of domestic help in early 20th century America.Book Details
