Summary "The Forsaken Inn: A Novel" by Anna Katharine Green is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. This narrative unfolds as a blend of mystery and suspense, centered around a young couple, Mr. and Mrs. Urquhart, who find themselves at a peculiar inn, drawing the attention of the landlady, Mrs. Truax. The story delves into themes of crime, hidden secrets, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies their stay, setting the stage for a gripping tale. At the start of the novel, we meet a weary traveler who, seeking shelter from a storm, is drawn to a dilapidated inn that holds a sense of foreboding. Upon his arrival, he discovers a mysterious manuscript written by the previous landlady, detailing her unsettling experiences with the Urquharts, particularly concerning the young wife’s strange behavior and her husband’s overwhelming obsession with a large box. The narrative hints at fear and unease, culminating in a midnight scream that echoes through the inn, asserting a haunting atmosphere that suggests something sinister is at play. The opening sets the tone for an exploration of darker themes, leaving readers intrigued about the fate of the characters and the secrets lurking within the forsaken inn.
