Johnsy falls ill with pneumonia and becomes convinced she will die when the last leaf falls from the ivy outside her window. Sue, worried for her friend, stays by her side. An old artist neighbour, Behrman, ultimately paints a realistic ivy leaf during a stormy night so that the last leaf appears to stay on the wall. Johnsy regains hope and recovers. The story shows how self-sacrifice, friendship and hope can triumph in dark times.

When Johnsy gets pneumonia she watches leaves falling and thinks her life is ending. The old painter Behrman paints a leaf. In the end Johnsy survives. The autumn backdrop is beautiful and the author uses vivid style. I liked the mood of the story.
