Summary: "Geertje" by Johan de Meester is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Geertje, a young girl preparing to leave her rural home for a new life in the city of Rotterdam. In the process, she experiences a mix of emotions, from excitement to nostalgia, as she navigates her relationships with her family and friends in her hometown. The opening of the novel introduces Geertje's change from her secluded village life to the bustling environment of the city.

There is a sense of longing for the past as Geertje bids farewell to her familiar surroundings while also dealing with the uncertainty of her new chapter.
