| Summary | "The Inverted Pyramid" by Bertrand W. Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story takes place in British Columbia and follows the life of Roderick Norquay, an eighteen-year-old boy, as he navigates his relationships with his family, particularly his elder brother Grove, and his feelings for Mary Thorn, a girl he grew up with. The narrative hints at themes of family legacy, personal ambition, and the complexities of young adulthood in a setting filled with natural beauty and historical significance. At the start of the novel, Rod Norquay is depicted waiting along the shores of the rugged coastline of British Columbia, deeply moved by the untamed beauty of his surroundings. As he shares a canoeing adventure with Mary Thorn, their playful interaction reveals their youthful innocence and budding feelings for one another. Their day of fun and excitement contrasts with the underlying tensions in Rod's family dynamics, particularly the disapproval of his elder brother, Grove, and their father regarding his relationship with Mary. Rod's yearning for adventure and connection to the land frames his character as he contemplates the weight of family expectations and the passage into adulthood.
