Summary: "Phœbe" by Eleanor Gates is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the life of a young girl named Phœbe Blair, who is suddenly uprooted from her familiar life in New York to stay with her distant relatives in a smaller city. The story explores themes of innocence, family dynamics, and the impact of adult issues, as Phœbe navigates her new surroundings and grapples with the troubling changes in her mother's health and the implications of divorce. The opening of the novel presents a critical moment as Phœbe receives a telegram from her mother, instructing her to pack and leave for her grandmother's house. The reader is introduced to Phœbe's tender relationship with her father, who accompanies her on the train. As she embarks on this journey, Phœbe's reflections reveal her confusion and sense of loss, particularly regarding her mother's sudden departure and the ominous suggestion of a family tragedy. Upon arrival at her grandmother's house, Phœbe encounters a new and unfamiliar world, populated by relatives she barely knows, which deepens her sense of isolation and longing for her mother. The stage is set for a coming-of-age story that promises to delve into the complexities of family relationships and the fears of a young girl confronting adult realities.
