| Summary | "The Great Amulet" by Maud Diver is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the complex relationship between the main characters, Quita Maurice and Captain Eldred Lenox, particularly following their swift marriage and the emotional turmoil that ensues. The novel explores themes of love, artistic ambition, and the struggles of personal identity against societal expectations. At the start of the narrative, the wedding of Quita and Eldred takes place in Zermatt with minimal ceremony, setting the stage for their journey into married life amidst the stunning backdrop of the Swiss Alps. The opening chapters depict the nuances of their personalities and emotional dynamics, revealing Quita's artistic sensibilities and sense of independence, contrasted with Eldred's reserved and protective demeanor. Their departure to the Eiffel Alp Hotel marks the beginning of a crucial period of adjustment, as both characters grapple with the weight of their choices and the past that may haunt their future together. The tension between their desires and societal norms is palpable, hinting at the conflicts that will arise as the plot unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
