Summary: "Smoking Flax" by Hallie Erminie Rives is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the American South and delves into themes surrounding societal issues, particularly the complexities of lynching and its moral implications, while also weaving a romantic narrative. The main character is Elliott Harding, a young lawyer who returns to his ancestral home with aspirations of influencing Southern opinion against the practice of lynching, while also navigating his relationship with Dorothy Carr. The beginning of "Smoking Flax" sets the stage for a richly woven tale of love and societal conflict. It opens with descriptions of an old, decaying mansion, establishing an emotional backdrop tied to Elliott Harding’s family history. As Elliott returns to Georgetown, he reflects on his father's wishes for their home and contemplates his mission to address the immoral practices of his community, particularly concerning lynching. The early interactions between Elliott and Dorothy highlight their connection, while foreshadowing the relational complexities that will ensue due to societal pressures and personal ambitions. Themes of love, duty, and the challenges of confronting deep-seated societal norms begin to emerge as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
