Callwell, Josephine Martin A little Irish girl $aLondon :$bBlackie & Son Limited, $c1902. Al Haines "A Little Irish Girl" by J. M. Callwell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Norah O'Brien, a lively and imaginative young Irish girl navigating the challenges and changes in her life after being orphaned and sent to a London boarding school. The book follows Norah's experiences at school, her friendship with the gentle Lily Allardyce, and the dramatic shift when a small inheritance allows her and her siblings to return to their ancestral roots in Ireland. At its heart, the novel explores themes of family, heritage, resilience, and the contrast between English and Irish ways of life. The opening of the story introduces readers to Treherne House, a girls’ school in a London suburb, where Norah finds herself daydreaming and struggling with homesickness. After receiving disappointing news that she cannot spend the Easter holidays with her friend Lily, Norah's spirits are lifted when her sister Anstace arrives with news of an unexpected inheritance—a small estate in Ireland left to them by an old relative. This change promises a reunion with her siblings and an escape from the loneliness of school. The narrative then follows their journey to their new Irish home, depicting their arrival at the coastal, rain-swept Kilshane and the lively domestic scenes that greet them. Norah’s exuberance, the family's adjustment to rustic Irish life, and the vibrant details of their new surroundings set the stage for the unfolding story of belonging and adaptation.
