| Summary | "The Wishing-Ring Man" by Margaret Widdemer is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Joy Havenith, a young woman living in the shadow of her illustrious grandfather, an esteemed poet. Joy is caught in a world that feels fairy-tale like but remains unsatisfying, leading her to long for more exciting and romantic experiences. At the start of the novel, we meet Joy embracing her life within the confines of her family's artistic and literary legacy, yet feeling out of place and a bit like a decorative piece rather than an active participant in life. During a reception hosted by her grandfather, she observes a young couple in love, triggering a moment of self-realization about her own lack of personal connections. As Joy navigates her feelings of being trapped in a gilded cage, her encounter with a young man, who brings a sense of joy and understanding, sets the stage for her quest for love and the adventures that will unfold. The initial chapters beautifully depict her internal struggles and desires, laying the groundwork for her journey towards self-discovery and connection.
