Summary: "At the Councillor's; or, A Nameless History" by E. Marlitt is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story immerses readers in the complexities of familial relationships, wealth, and societal expectations, primarily revolving around the characters Councillor Römer and his estranged family members, especially the recently bereaved Kitty Mangold, the miller's granddaughter. With themes of ambition, guilt, and social position, the narrative explores how individuals navigate their intertwined fates in a context marked by intrigue and moral dilemmas. At the start of the novel, tensions are set in motion following the medical operation on the castle miller, which leads to his unexpected death shortly thereafter. As Councillor Römer grapples with the implications of the incident, suspicion arises regarding his actions during the old man's last moments. Meanwhile, Kitty returns to the mill after her grandfather's death, carrying the legacy of her family's estate. The early chapters establish the backdrop of social disparity, exemplified by the interactions between Kitty, her family, and Doctor Bruck, who provides a glimpse into the deeper emotional and ethical conflicts that will unfold as the plot develops.
