Meade is a novel that likely hails from the late 19th century. This touching tale centers around two orphaned children, Cecile and Maurice D'Albert, as they navigate their fraught existence in London, where their circumstances become even more precarious after their stepmother's death. The children, who are deeply bonded despite their hardships, find themselves on a quest that unfolds against the backdrop of their loyalty to each other and their promise to seek out their stepmother's long-lost daughter, Lovedy. The opening of the book introduces us to Cecile and Maurice sitting alone on a doorstep in a quiet, old-fashioned court in London, highlighting both their resilience and vulnerability. Their tender relationship is evident as they care for each other, particularly in light of their stepmother's worsening health. Through the children's perspective, we see their yearning for warmth, love, and belonging amidst their struggles. Following their stepmother's death, Cecile learns about a solemn promise she must undertake: to search for Lovedy, her stepmother's lost daughter. This promise sets off a journey filled with emotional depth, challenges, and the quest for a brighter future, as Cecile grapples with the obligations and hopes placed upon her young shoulders.
