"A Modern Madonna" by Caroline Abbot Stanley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Margaret De Jarnette, who faces the challenges of love, loss, and motherhood after her troubled marriage to Victor De Jarnette. As she navigates her feelings of betrayal and independence, the novel explores themes of fidelity, trust, and the complexities of familial relationships. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Margaret's wedding day, marked by a sense of anticipation and emotional weight as she is given away by Judge Kirtley, her guardian. The scene captures the joy and tension surrounding the nuptials, particularly through the perspective of the judge, who worries about Victor's ability to care for Margaret. This day is intertwined with a foreshadowing of future conflicts, hinted by the presence of Victor’s elder brother Richard, who has reservations about Victor’s readiness for marriage. As the story unfolds, Margaret’s initial happiness turns into a profound struggle with Victor’s infidelity and desertion, setting the stage for her journey toward self-discovery and resilience as she embraces her role as a mother.
