Summary "On Angels' Wings" by Mrs. Greene is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young girl named Violet, who is marked by her physical limitations and the untimely death of her mother. As Violet navigates her shortcomings and the loss of her maternal figure, she clings to the hope of one day having wings, representing freedom and a reunion in heaven. The narrative explores themes of love, loss, and resilience through the eyes of a child. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Violet, a little girl who has spent her days watching other children play from a turret-shaped window, unable to join them due to her physical constraints—a hunchback. We witness her innocence as she longs for her deceased mother and cherishes the memories they shared. The opening chapters present vital interactions that shape Violet's understanding of her condition and deepen her grief when her mother passes away. The poignant relationship between Violet and her father, along with her friendship with other children, particularly Fritz and Ella, establishes a foundation of love and support that will be tested as they all brace for the impending war and its ramifications.
