| Summary | "The Marriage of Esther" by Guy Boothby is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the journey of Cuthbert Ellison, a man who has fallen from grace and is struggling for redemption, as he navigates his complicated relationship with Esther McCartney, a woman of strength and mystery, set against the backdrop of Thursday Island. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to Ellison and his companion Silas Murkard as they arrive at Thursday Island, both down on their luck. Their unpopularity is quickly established when Murkard, intoxicated, incites a brawl at a local bar, leading to Ellison's defense of him against a fighter named Paddy the Lasher. After a fierce fight, Ellison earns the respect of the locals but is haunted by his past failures and the degradation he has suffered. The narrative hints at Ellison's internal struggles, including his desire for redemption, and lays the foundation for his encounter with Esther, a character who represents hope and the potential for a new beginning in his tumultuous life.
