Summary "The Moneychangers" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young widow, Lucy Dupree, who returns to New York City after years in New Orleans, where she married and lost a husband. The narrative introduces several key characters, including Allan Montague, a man with a deep history with Lucy, who now finds himself drawn to her amidst the complexities of society and its demands. The book delves into themes of wealth, ambition, and the moral compromises individuals make within the capitalist framework of early 1900s America. The beginning of "The Moneychangers" introduces readers to the anticipation surrounding Lucy Dupree's return to New York and hints at her complicated past and relationships. Reggie Mann and Allan Montague discuss Lucy, expressing eagerness and nostalgia. As Lucy reconnects with Allan, the text discusses her innocence and excitement about New York, juxtaposing it with Allan's more seasoned perspective of city life. The opening chapters also suggest a looming sense of tragedy, as Allan grapples with his feelings for Lucy, reflecting on the losses in both their lives and setting the stage for social dynamics that will unfold in the narrative, especially concerning Lucy's interactions with powerful men like Dan Waterman.
