| Summary |
"The Wayfarers" by Mary Stewart Cutting is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story seems to revolve around the lives of several characters navigating their personal and professional challenges, with a focus on themes of ambition, family, and the quest for happiness. The opening chapter introduces Justin Alexander, a man facing pivotal decisions about his career and his responsibilities toward his family, alongside Lois, his wife, and Theodosia, a young cousin who is set to visit. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a crowded ferry-boat, symbolizing the weariness of everyday life and the emergence of individual stories within the crowd. Justin Alexander is contacted regarding a business opportunity that would change the course of his life as he contemplates leaving a secure job for uncertain ventures. Meanwhile, the friendship between him and his wife reveals a loving yet complex relationship, with hints of a deeper emotional struggle. Theodosia's journey from her home to New York, laden with hopes of a new life and unexpected tragedy, intertwines with their story, showing the interconnectedness of their lives and the experiences that shape their paths.
