| Summary | "Free Air" by Sinclair Lewis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around Claire Boltwood, a young woman escaping from societal expectations and embarking on a road trip with her father, which symbolizes her search for independence and self-discovery. The novel explores themes of class, freedom, and the American landscape through their journey. The opening of "Free Air" introduces Claire and her father as they struggle through muddy roads in Minnesota during their trip. Claire's excitement is evident, but so is her frustration as she battles the challenges of driving a stuck car while trying to maintain her poise. The narrative captures her moment of personal growth as she pushes through adversity, revealing her determination and resilience. This beginning establishes Claire's character as someone who is transitioning from the comforts of her structured life in Brooklyn Heights to the unpredictability and liberation of the open road, setting the tone for her adventures ahead.
