| Summary |
"Many Kingdoms" by Elizabeth Garver Jordan is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story seems to revolve around the character Lawrence Varick, who experiences peculiar dreams that blur the line between reality and illusion, particularly with a mysterious woman he encounters in these dreams. The themes of love, dreams, and the search for connection appear to be central to the narrative. The opening of "Many Kingdoms" introduces Varick, a practical young man who is suddenly drawn into a vivid dream where he walks through a foreign village and meets a captivating woman. Their interactions are marked by confusion and intrigue as they navigate this surreal experience, with Varick grappling with the strange sensations and emotions that arise from their connection. Eventually, he awakens, left pondering the nature of his dream and the feeling of longing for the woman he encountered. This blend of fantasy and emotional depth sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Varick's inner world and the mysteries of love and dreams throughout the novel.
