Summary "Left at Home" by Mary L. Code is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Arthur Vivyan, who experiences profound loss and change as he grapples with the illness and death of his beloved baby sister, Mildred, and subsequently finds himself left in England while his parents return to India. This poignant exploration of childhood grief and the search for comfort delves into Arthur's emotional turmoil as he navigates the painful transition from a happy home life to a lonely existence with his aunt. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to a somber and tense household at Ashton Grange. Young Arthur is informed by a servant that his baby sister, Mildred, is gravely ill, resulting in widespread worry and anxiety throughout the house. The narrative captures Arthur's innocent confusion and deep affection for his sister, culminating in the heart-wrenching moment of her passing. Following this tragedy, the story shifts to Arthur's impending separation from his parents, who must leave him with his aunt in England as they return to India. The opening chapters effectively establish the emotional foundation of the book, highlighting themes of love, loss, and the inevitable challenges of growing up amidst personal tragedy.
