| Summary | "A Modern Cinderella" by Amanda M. Douglas is a novel written in the late 19th century. This fictional tale reinterprets the classic fairy tale by introducing Marilla Bond, a young girl who works as a nursemaid for the Borden family. The narrative explores themes of hardship, hope, and the transformative power of imagination as Marilla navigates her responsibilities and yearns for a happier life, epitomized by her dream of attending a ball. The opening of the novel introduces us to Marilla, who is living as a bound-out girl, working under the supervision of Bridget and caring for the Borden twins and their troublesome sibling, Jack. Her Cinderella-like existence is filled with mundane chores, but it is brightened by the warmth of memories and the playful imagination in her heart. One night, while taking a brief respite near the stove, Marilla dreams of meeting a fairy godmother who transforms her reality, allowing her to experience a magical ball. This dream highlights her longing for joy and the semblance of a more enchanting life, setting the stage for her journey towards self-discovery and aspiration amidst her everyday struggles.
