| Summary | "Geoff's Little Sister" by Evelyn R. Garratt is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the experiences of a young boy named Geoffrey and his siblings as they cope with the absence of their mother, who has recently passed away. The book explores themes of family, loss, and the innocence of childhood, portraying how the characters navigate their grief while caring for their younger sister, Dodie. In this touching narrative, Geoffrey, the eldest of the siblings, feels a deep sense of responsibility for his younger siblings, particularly Dodie. As the family prepares for Christmas without their mother, they struggle with their emotions and each child's unique way of dealing with grief. Geoffrey reflects on the past while fulfilling a promise to buy a new doll for Dodie, who is still sweet and naive about their mother's absence. The story reaches a poignant climax with Dodie's unexpected illness and subsequent death, which forces Geoffrey to confront his own emotions and musters the strength to support his grieving father. Throughout, the narrative beautifully captures the essence of childhood and familial bonds, ultimately conveying a profound message about love, loss, and resilience.
