The Lonely Stronghold
Produced by Al Haines
"The Lonely Stronghold" by Mrs. Baillie Reynolds is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of early 20th century England, this story explores the life of Olwen Innes, a young woman dissatisfied with her clerical job at a bank in a small town. As she yearns for adventure and a more fulfilling life, her journey leads her to unexpected circumstances and relationships, revealing her struggle between societal expectations and personal aspirations. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Olwen working at the Palatine Bank, where the dreary weather and her uneventful life provoke feelings of restlessness and dissatisfaction. When she visits the Holroyd family, she engages in conversations that reflect her longing for something beyond her current mundane existence. The opening chapters highlight her thoughts on potential change, fueled by an advertisement she placed seeking new opportunities. As the weather turns forbidding, Olwen finally sets off on a journey to the remote Guysewyke Pele, where she encounters Ninian Guyse, the son of the household, setting the stage for further adventures and challenges as she attempts to carve out her own identity.
