Summary "The Story of the Gravelys: A Tale for Girls" by Marshall Saunders is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story is centered around the Gravely family, including sisters Margaretta and Berty, and their wise grandmother, who has instilled in them important family values and the notion of togetherness. The narrative explores themes of familial responsibility, social class, and the importance of compassion, particularly as the family faces financial hardships. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to a heated quarrel between sisters Margaretta and Berty, sparked by their changing family dynamics after a financial loss. Their grandmother intervenes with wisdom, emphasizing the importance of keeping the family unit intact despite challenges. The opening sets the stage for a journey filled with familial love, personal growth, and social awareness as the characters navigate their shifting circumstances and the need for mutual support and understanding in family life.
