Produced by Roger Frank, Matthew Wheaton and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Whirligig of Time" by Wayland Wells Williams is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with young Harry Wimbourne, who, along with his brother James, faces the traumatic experience of their mother’s critical illness and impending death. As they navigate their emotions and family dynamics, the gravity of loss begins to shape their lives, particularly through the contrast of their shared grief and individual responses to tragedy. The opening of the book sets a somber yet introspective tone, as Harry lies awake in anticipation of the life-altering event taking place in his mother's bedroom. The boys are acutely aware of their mother’s condition and the strangeness of the night, with quiet moments filled with tension and fear. As their mother passes away, the narrative not only captures the boys' immediate reactions to their loss but also hints at the continuing journey of growth and responsibility that lies ahead for both brothers. James's contemplation of his mother's last words about looking after Harry adds an element of suspense about how their relationship may evolve as they face the challenges of life without their mother.
