Title Angel's Brother
Original Publication United Kingdom: The Religious Tract Society, 1905.
Summary "Angel's Brother" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Angelica "Angel" Willis, an eleven-year-old girl living in a shabby London lodging with her struggling artist father and her younger brother Gerald. Filled with a sense of duty and affection, Angel faces the pressures of her family's financial difficulties while nurturing her hopes for a better life. The narrative delves into themes of sibling loyalty, poverty, and the longing for companionship, as Angel navigates her responsibilities and emotions amid life's challenges. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Angel as she reflects on her life and the loss of her mother, who had advised her to look after her brother Gerald. The opening chapter highlights the mundane struggles of their household, such as unpaid bills, as well as Angel’s determination to support her father despite his artistic dreams driving them deeper into debt. Following an unexpected visit from Uncle Edward, who returns from Australia, Angel begins to dream of a brighter future. The tension between her and Gerald's contrasting temperaments and expectations is established, foreshadowing the challenges they will face in their relationship as the story unfolds. The first chapters effectively set the scene for Angel's character development and the dynamics of family life in their ongoing quest for happiness amidst adversity.
