| Summary | "The Inn at the Red Oak" by Latta Griswold is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book is set in a quaint, decaying inn located in a once-bustling shipping town, focusing on the psychological and social dynamics between its characters as they navigate life in a changing world. Central to the story are two young men, Dan Frost and Tom Pembroke, who grapple with their aspirations and the complications introduced by the arrival of a mysterious French marquis, M. de Boisdhyver. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the setting of the Inn at the Red Oak, where Tom and Dan, childhood friends, reflect on how drastically the inn's fortunes have declined over the years. As they sit around the hearth one stormy night, the old marquis arrives seeking shelter, sparking both intrigue and suspicion. The opening chapters establish a sense of camaraderie between the young men and hint at a deeper mystery surrounding the marquis and his interest in the inn. This sets the stage for a tale intertwined with themes of nostalgia, adventure, and unspoken relationships, particularly as Dan’s foster sister, Nancy, becomes entangled in the marquis’s charm, complicating the dynamics between the characters.
