520 _a"Rena's Experiment" by Mary J. Holmes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Rena, along with her cousin Irene Burdick, as they travel to Oakfield for the summer, entangled in a peculiar inheritance arrangement involving marriage due to a quirky will left by Sandy McPherson. The narrative unfolds as Rena grapples with her feelings about the charmed well reputed to reveal one's future partner, while also navigating her relationship with her charming but proud cousin and potential suitors. The beginning of the novel introduces the characters and setting with a lively, rich backdrop of rural New England. We meet Rena and Irene, who are preparing to stay at Mrs. Parks' boarding house, and learn about the local folklore regarding Nannie's Well, which supposedly holds the key to one's future love. Sam Walker, who becomes an important figure in the unfolding story, adds a layer of local charm. The opening hints at a deepening romantic subplot involving the cousins and their interactions with the wealthy Reginald Travers, while also foreshadowing the complexities of relationships influenced by unexpected circumstances and the legacies of past generations.
