"The Cup of Fury: A Novel of Cities and Shipyards" by Rupert Hughes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of Marie Louise, an American girl adopted into a prominent British family during World War I. As she navigates her privileged existence, Marie Louise grapples with her personal desires, the realities of war, and the unfolding terror surrounding her foster family’s alleged treachery. The opening of the novel introduces Marie Louise as she arrives at her British family's home, where she experiences a complex mix of emotions, including fear and a longing for solitude. Through her interactions with the children she looks after, she grapples with the impact of her memories and the horrors associated with the war, particularly the sinking of the Lusitania. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at the underlying tensions in her adoptive family, particularly connected to their German heritage, which leads to a confrontation with their perceived loyalties amidst the wider backdrop of the war.
