Summary "Giannella" by Mrs. Hugh Fraser is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a little orphaned girl named Giannella and explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the kindness of strangers in a setting that traverses from the bohemian lives of struggling Scandinavian artists in Rome to the nurturing environment of a convent school. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to a tragic event: the death of two parents, leaving behind their infant daughter, Giannella. Two young painters, Carl and Hans, alongside a devoted woman named Mariuccia, ponder what to do with the child, ultimately deciding against abandoning her at a foundling hospital. Instead, Mariuccia offers to care for Giannella, planning to bring her to her brother’s home where she can be raised properly. This moment sets the stage for Mariuccia’s strong commitment to nurturing and educating Giannella, framing the foundation of their relationship as they navigate the challenges that come with caring for a child amidst financial struggles and societal expectations.
