title: The Tiny One: A Novel
author:  Eliza Minot 
description: In <i>The Tiny One</i> Eliza Minot takes over what used to be  her sister  <a href="/exec/obidos/author=Minot%2c%20Susan/${0}">Susan</a>'s territory--just the way a younger sibling should. <i>Territory</i> in  this case means a large, happy, Catholic family--the Reveres--that  lives  in Massachusetts, spends summers in Maine, and is lucky enough to have  love to spare. All of this normality and stability, however, is changed  by the death  of Mrs. Revere--"Mum" as she is called throughout. What makes Minot's  more than just another novel about a death in the family is the fact  that it's written entirely from the perspective of the youngest Revere,  Via. "Mum's dead forever," she says in the sentiment-free tones of a  child grappling with death. "Mum's dead forever and the world's all  different, roomy and huge."
