| Summary | "Tower of Ivory: A Novel" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The work appears to revolve around the intrigues of love and ambition in a richly described European setting, focusing on the lives of its main characters, John Ordham and Margarethe Styr, juxtaposed against the backdrop of an artistically vibrant Munich. Through the exploration of art and identity, the book seems to delve into themes of societal expectations, personal aspirations, and the complexities of relationships. At the start of the novel, we meet John Ordham, a young Englishman immersed in the cultural life of Munich, where he idolizes the talented singer Margarethe Styr, a figure of both allure and mystery. Ordham navigates the vibrant yet tumultuous world of society, attending operatic performances and social events while grappling with the distractions of his youth. Intrigued by both Margarethe's talents and her secrets, he is drawn to her, yet he hesitates to engage directly. Margarethe, on the other hand, presents herself as a formidable artist, marked by an enigmatic past and driven by an intense dedication to her craft. The opening chapters set the stage for a potential encounter between these two characters, hinting at deeper themes of ambition, love, and the desire for connection amid the complexities of their lives.
