Summary "Mrs. Overtheway's Remembrances" by Juliana Horatia Ewing is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young orphan named Ida, who finds solace in observing her neighbor, a little old lady she affectionately calls Mrs. Overtheway. The narrative delves into themes of loneliness, childhood innocence, and the search for connection, highlighting how Ida yearns for the happiness she perceives in the old lady's life. The opening of the book introduces us to Ida and her life as an orphan living with her unsociable great-uncle. Every morning, she watches Mrs. Overtheway as she leaves for church, developing a fascination for the mysterious old lady. We learn about Ida's tragic past, including her mother's death and her sailor father's absence. Despite her sorrow, she finds joy in the simple sights of life and nurtures a desire to bring flowers to Mrs. Overtheway. The beginning sets a tone of nostalgic longing, focusing on Ida's imaginative world as she attempts to navigate her loneliness and loss. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
