1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. What made Mary contrary? By Kathleen Vincenz Mary was contrary because she didn't want to marry someone she did not love for money. Yep. That's what will make you contrary in 1914. Mary also didn't want her aunt to care for her--she wanted to be independent and marry a man whose dreams she could share in.I actually read this twice because I liked it so much the first time. The second time paled a bit, but that should be expected, after all it wasn't that great the first time. I liked Mary and I liked her romantic interest, Roger. I thought Roger a bit wimpy but again I am judging him from modern standards--we are not as scandalized by things as they were in 1914, which is for better or perhaps for ill.The book goes in ways that you don't expect and has a strong subplot about Mary's brother, reflecting on strength of character and how you can love someone despite their flaws. It also has a good cast of characters surrounding Mary, one with a Svengali relationship with an artist, asking the question can you be formed by how you act or dress?Really, this book has a lot to offer about everything: feminism, love, family, and virtue. It may be belittled as a romance, but it is as good a treatise on how to live your life as any boring philosophy book, with the added attraction of a mysterious young man renting the tower room. Who can he be?

Top Fiction of Yesteryear By Virginia Allain Here's how this vintage fiction was described in 1918: "An old-fashioned love story that is nontheless modern."The National Library for the Blind describes it this way: "The Ballard siblings, Mary, Constance, and Barry, live in anold house in Washington, D.C. With Constance gettingmarried, their aunts, Isabelle and Frances, want Mary toclose up the house. However, Mary feels responsible forBarry, so she has taken the bold step of renting the TowerRoom to a gentleman."
