| Summary | "Good Old Anna" by Marie Belloc Lowndes is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the lead-up to World War I, the story revolves around the character of Mrs. Mary Otway and her long-time German servant, Anna, exploring themes of loyalty and prejudice in the wake of war. The narrative begins when Mrs. Otway grapples with the implications of England's declaration of war against Germany, particularly regarding her relationship with Anna, who has served her family faithfully for eighteen years. At the start of the novel, Mrs. Otway and her friend Miss Forsyth engage in a tense discussion about the fate of Anna following the war declaration. Miss Forsyth suggests that Mrs. Otway should send Anna back to Germany, a notion which Mrs. Otway fiercely rejects, highlighting her deep affection for her servant. As the two women navigate their differing perspectives on duty, nationalism, and friendship, the weight of historical events looms large. The opening chapters establish not only the intricate dynamics of their relationship but also set the stage for the unfolding turmoil as war disrupts their lives and forces them to confront cultural tensions in a rapidly changing world.
