| Summary | "King of the Castle" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Claude Gartram, the daughter of a wealthy quarry owner, and touches upon themes of class conflict, love, and societal expectations. The relationships between Claude, her cousin Mary Dillon, and the men in their lives, particularly Christopher Lisle and Parry Glyddyr, play a central role in the unfolding narrative." "The opening of the novel introduces the characters and sets the stage for the dynamics at play in their lives. Claude is portrayed as a young woman caught between her father's stern, oppressive nature and her aspirations for love and happiness. Her interactions with her father reveal the contrast between their values, particularly regarding the working class represented by Isaac Woodham, a quarry worker, who is at odds with Gartram. As the story unfolds, themes of familial duty, societal expectations, and the consequences of ambition begin to emerge, hinting at the conflicts that will arise as Claude navigates her relationships and the tumultuous events that follow."
