"Chateau d'Or, Norah and Kitty Craig" by Mary Jane Holmes is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Anna Strong, a young American woman whose marriage to the wealthy and haughty Ernest Haverleigh takes her from her humble beginnings to an isolated chateau in France. As Anna navigates her new life, she grapples with feelings of entrapment and despair, ultimately questioning the very nature of her marriage and her husband's intentions. The opening of the book introduces readers to Anna's life before her wedding, highlighting her beauty and ambition in the understated New England town of Millfield. It details her motivations for marrying Haverleigh—primarily his wealth and the lavish lifestyle he promises—as well as the stark contrast to her previous life spent working in a shoe shop. Upon arriving at Chateau d'Or, Anna quickly senses a grim atmosphere surrounding her new home. As she begins to learn of her husband’s controlling nature and the shadows of a tragic past resident haunting the chateau, it becomes evident that she is not merely a bride enjoying wealth and luxury, but rather a potential prisoner in a gilded cage. The dynamics established between Anna, Haverleigh, and the enigmatic housekeeper Madame Verwest hint at a deeper and more complex narrative of love, manipulation, and the search for freedom.
