| 520 | _a"Mieke" by Augusta van Slooten is a novel for young readers written in the early 20th century. Set in a Dutch village, it follows the conscientious schoolgirl Mieke as her life is upended by her grandmother’s sudden illness and bereavement, leaving her future uncertain. Between a warm, capable neighbor and distant, status-conscious city relatives, the story explores duty, kindness, and class contrasts as Mieke faces decisions about schooling and where she will live. The opening of the novel depicts a bleak, rainy season that mirrors the neglect settling over Mieke’s cottage as her grandmother grows acutely ill. Mieke struggles to keep house and attend her normal school until the practical, generous neighbor juffrouw Wije intervenes, summons the doctor, and steadies the panicked girl; despite care, the grandmother dies within days. At the funeral, social frictions surface: the level-headed boerin counters the officious doctor’s wife, and Mieke’s urbane uncle and cousin treat the prosperous young farmer Geert with thinly veiled condescension. The uncle pledges to act as a “second father,” while the neighbor offers Mieke immediate shelter. Soon a letter arrives from Amsterdam proposing that Mieke move in with her uncle’s family, contribute a small board from her inheritance, and help with the household—news that leaves her anxious but on the threshold of a new chapter.
