A Cinderella flair pervades this charming tale, though with a welcome twist in the selection process. Graham, in search of a suitable wife, surprisingly bypasses the expected choice—the stepsister—to settle his sights on the elder daughter, Emma. Emma's circumstances are dire; reduced to the role of a servant within the very walls of her own home as she diligently tends to her ailing father.
As Graham begins his determined courtship of Emma, he's quickly alerted to the blatant disparity in her treatment—a true servant in her supposed house. While Emma initially presents as somewhat weak, her absolute resolve to care for her father shines through, an undeniably strong and admirable trait. Her affection for Graham grows slowly but surely, contrasting with Graham's immediate and enduring impression of her from the very beginning. The story delivers a sudden and unexpected twist, a genuine shock that rattles the couple to their core. All in all, it’s a good Cinderella narrative, pleasantly seasoned with the pragmatic element of a marriage of convenience.
