Ellen Carstairs has returned to her home in Glasgow, with her maiden aunt and her brother, after spending several years studying music in Germany. Although she intends a career as a music teacher, she is drawn to the literary life instead, much against the conventional views of her friends and family. It's written in the form of letters and an extended diary kept for Ellen's best friend, and though it did take me a while to get used to Ellen's vivacious, dramatic voice, I ended up liking her a lot and rooting for her to defy society and do what she wanted. The Camomile is a vivid picture of a woman who needs a room of her own: in Ellen's words, "a quiet, clean, pleasant room in which she can work, dream her dreams, write out her thoughts, and keep her few treasures in peace."
