520			_a"Six Mrs. Greenes" by Lorna Rea is a novel written in the late 1920s. The book explores family relationships and generational change, focusing on the Greene family and, in particular, its matriarchs. At its heart are the interconnected lives and personalities of several women—each called Mrs. Greene in a different context—set against the backdrop of an established, upper-middle-class English family. Likely topics include aging, memory, legacy, and the shifting roles of women within families and society. The opening of the novel presents the elderly Mrs. Margaret Greene as she navigates her declining health and reflects on her long, eventful life, surrounded by memories of her children and grandchildren. Her companion, Miss Dorset, is also introduced—a woman quietly marked by personal tragedy but unwavering in her devotion. The narrative depicts intimate daily routines, family letters, and preparations for a family dinner that will bring together the "six Mrs. Greenes" across three generations. As the story shifts focus to Mrs. Hugh Greene, we see her grappling with her own mortality after being diagnosed with incurable cancer, while thoughtfully planning the future of her beloved home, Lynton, and bestowing comfort and practical support on her younger relatives. The atmosphere is contemplative and tender, weaving together themes of dignity, resilience, and the meaning of belonging across age and time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
