| Summary | "Henry Is Twenty: A Further Episodic History of Henry Calverly, 3rd" by Samuel Merwin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on Henry Calverly, a sensitive and imaginative young man who grapples with his identity and relationships as he approaches adulthood. The book explores themes of self-discovery, societal expectations, and the complexities of young love. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Henry, who is portrayed as a blend of awkwardness and vulnerability as he prepares to navigate his twentieth year. Set in Sunbury, Illinois, the backdrop showcases a quaint village bustling with life, contrasting Henry's internal struggles. In the initial scenes, we see Henry's interactions with his past, including the memory of his deceased mother and the presence of other young women like Mamie Wilcox and Martha Caldwell, who complicate his emotional landscape. As Henry contemplates his relationships and the events of his life, he is caught between the expectations of society and his own personal aspirations, setting the stage for the unfolding drama to come.
