| Summary | "A Fool for Love" by Francis Lynde is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows John Winton, a railroad engineer, and his colleague Morton P. Adams as they embark on a hazardous journey through the mountains while navigating complex corporate conflicts interwoven with personal romantic intrigue. At its core, the narrative explores themes of ambition, love, and the struggle between competing interests in the infrastructure development of the American West. The opening of the book introduces readers to a wintery scene on a train station where the protagonist, John Winton, and his companion, Adams, await their delayed train to Denver. Their conversation reveals Winton’s frustration about being forced into fieldwork he would rather avoid, especially as his thoughts drift towards Virginia Carteret, a captivating woman he has just seen aboard a private car. The atmosphere changes when Winton learns they are on a collision course with corporate rivalries that threaten to derail their plans—not just for the railroad, but also for his budding interest in Virginia. As the plot unfolds, tension builds around Winton's professional challenges, romance, and the socioeconomic landscapes of the time. The beginning sets a vivid stage for both the romantic and adventurous elements of the tale that are yet to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
