Summary: "Mother-Meg; or, The Story of Dickie's Attic" by Catharine Shaw is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work explores themes of poverty, kindness, and the struggles of the working class, focusing on the lives of its characters as they navigate their challenging circumstances. The narrative weaves together the experiences of Meg, a newly married wife, and her compassion for the troubled families around her, particularly a sickly child named Dickie and his sister Cherry. The opening of the book introduces readers to a bleak and cold day in London, setting the tone for the harsh realities faced by the characters. We encounter a distressed family: a man carries his weak son, Dickie, who is clearly very ill. A hard-featured woman, presumably his mother, is trying to secure money for food, indicative of their dire situation. As the story unfolds, we see Meg, who has just married, beginning to consider how to make a difference in the lives of those around her, particularly through her acts of kindness toward Dickie and his sister. This leads to a strong foundation for the themes of charity and community support that will likely develop throughout the rest of the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
