Myra Meets His Family

By F. Scott Fitzgerald

Book Overview

Myra Meets His Family is a short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story is about a young woman named Myra who is invited to visit her boyfriend's family for the first time. Myra is nervous and unsure of what to expect, but she is determined to make a good impression. As she spends time with her boyfriend's family, Myra begins to realize that they are very different from her own family. She struggles to fit in and understand their way of life, but ultimately learns to appreciate their unique perspectives and traditions. The story explores themes of cultural differences, family dynamics, and the challenges of fitting in. Fitzgerald's writing is characterized by his vivid descriptions and insightful observations, making this a compelling and thought-provoking read.She had lain there an hour perhaps when she was startled from a slow reverie by a sharp cry which seemed to proceed from the adjoining room. She sat up in bed and listened, and in a minute it was repeated. It sounded exactly like the plaint of a weary child stopped summarily by the placing of a hand over its mouth. In the dark silence her bewilderment shaded gradually off into uneasiness. She waited for the cry to recur, but straining her ears she heard only the intense crowded stillness of three o'clock. She wondered where Knowleton slept, remembered that his bedroom was over in the other wing just beyond his mother's.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
