Gold Elsie is Marlitt's first novel, published in Die Gartenlaube. Golden-haired Elsie from an impoverished aristocratic family faces the arrogance of her new surroundings but wins everyone over with her noble character.

The novel was a sensation in the German-speaking world of the 1860s. Marlitt managed to combine a sentimental story with a critique of social inequality.
