"Queenie's Whim" by Rosa Nouchette Carey is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Queenie Marriott, a young woman who takes on the role of a governess for her little sister Emmie at Granite Lodge, an austere and unwelcoming establishment for girls. The narrative opens with Queenie's reflections on their challenging circumstances, marked by poverty and a tough upbringing, which sets the tone for her struggles against a harsh and oppressive school environment. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the bleak life Queenie and Emmie endure, living under the strict and unyielding Miss Titheridge. Queenie's thoughts reveal her deep love for her sister and her determination to protect her from the cruel treatment they often face. As she navigates her duties as a governess and the limitations imposed upon them, Queenie's resilience begins to surface. She recognizes the toll their living situation takes on Emmie's health and happiness, prompting her to contemplate a desperate course of action—seeking out their estranged uncle, Mr. Calcott. This act of defiance hints at Queenie’s strong will and the lengths to which she will go for her sister’s well-being, creating a compelling foundation for the unfolding drama between familial bonds and societal constraints.
