Summary: "Gossamer" by George A. Birmingham is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Sir James Digby, an Irish disinherited gentleman, and his meeting with Michael Gorman, a passionate Irish patriot and journalist. The narrative explores themes of identity, national sentiment, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a transatlantic voyage. The opening portion of the book introduces us to Sir James and Gorman's discussions, where they delve into the emotional turmoil of a fellow Irishman, Carl Ascher, a banker. As the narrative unfolds, we learn about their backgrounds—Gorman’s fervent Irish nationalism contrasts with Sir James’s feelings of disconnection from his own heritage. Their voyage to America brings them into contact with Ascher, who is initially seasick but later expresses interest in the dynamics of their interactions. The opening chapters also set the stage for Gorman's ambition to engage with the wealthy Ascher, hinting at a business proposal that holds the potential for conflict and moral questioning within the context of financial dealings.
