| Summary | "The Lost Road" by Richard Harding Davis is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Colton Lee, a serious young military officer who battles his own resolve against the allure of love, particularly that of Frances Gardner, a captivating young woman he meets during his time in Cape Cod. Despite his determination to avoid romantic entanglements, Lee is quickly captivated by Frances, embodying the tensions between duty and desire that play out throughout the narrative. The opening of "The Lost Road" introduces us to Colton Lee's life before he embarks on military service, detailing his interactions with Frances and the complexities of their budding romance. As they explore the woods together, creating their own metaphorical "lost road," the reader witnesses their connection deepen amidst the backdrop of impending conflict and duty. However, Lee struggles with his resolve to remain detached from women, a vow he soon finds difficult to uphold as he grapples with his feelings for Frances, leading to a mix of charming encounters and the inevitable tension between their dreams and harsh realities. Through enchanting prose, Davis sets the stage for a tale steeped in unfulfilled desires and the choices that ultimately define their paths. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
