Summary "The Maidens' Lodge; or, None of Self and All of Thee" by Emily Sarah Holt is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the year 1712, the story revolves around the lives, customs, and relationships of a genteel family during the reign of Queen Anne. The narrative focuses particularly on two young women, Rhoda and Phoebe, as they navigate the expectations of their social class and the implications of their family’s ambitions and past ties. The opening of the novel introduces us to the characters and the setting, starting with Madam Furnival and her granddaughter Rhoda at Cressingham Abbey, also known as White-Ladies. We learn about their household dynamics, including Madam’s stern disposition and Rhoda's sheltered upbringing, which has left her longing for companionship. The plot thickens with the arrival of Rhoda's cousin Phoebe, whose background is colored by poverty and loss, creating a contrast between her modesty and Rhoda's aspirations. As they meet, their contrasting personalities and experiences set the stage for their evolving relationship amid the backdrop of familial expectations and societal norms of their time.
