| Summary |
"Six to Sixteen: A Story for Girls" by Juliana Horatia Ewing is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The story follows the life of a young girl named Margaret Vandaleur—referred to as Margery—as she navigates childhood and adolescence, exploring themes of family, loss, friendship, and personal growth. Set against the backdrop of a changing social landscape, the narrative delves into the complexities of growing up, especially for young girls during that time. At the start of the book, we learn that Margery is an orphan, having lost both her mother and father at a tender age. The opening chapters introduce her childhood experiences in India with her Ayah, her relationships with her parents, and her struggles following their deaths. Margery's journey unfolds with her reflections on her early life, including her close bond with her Ayah and the profound loss she feels after her mother's passing. As she begins to write her autobiography, Margery grapples with her memories and emotions, setting the stage for her adventures and the friendships she develops as she grows, particularly with her spirited friend Eleanor. The story paints a tender portrait of a girl on the brink of adolescence, encountering joys and sorrows that shape her understanding of the world around her.
