Summary "Miracle Gold: A Novel (Vol. 1 of 3)" by Richard Dowling is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. It follows the story of Edith Grace, a young woman who finds herself trapped in an emotionally chilling situation with an unpleasant man named Oscar Leigh. As she navigates her escape from Eltham House, where she is meant to work as a companion for Leigh's ailing mother, the narrative delves into themes of fear, dignity, and the struggle for freedom. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Edith Grace, who is in despair after missing the last train to London. The scene is set at a quiet railway station, where she encounters a kind porter before embarking on a journey back to Eltham House, where she felt both trapped and threatened by the inappropriate advances of Oscar Leigh. As she makes her way through the rain-soaked night, her thoughts reveal her determination to escape a life she finds loathsome, culminating in her decision to leave the house under the shadow of night, driven by her fear of Leigh's unwelcome intentions. The opening not only introduces the protagonist and her plight but also hints at the complexities of her emotional landscape as she grapples with her past and uncertain future.
