Summary "Daybreak: A Romance of an Old World" by James Cowan is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative starts with an unusual voyage, setting the stage for a blend of romance and speculative fiction as it follows the lives of Walter and Margaret, a young couple deeply intertwined in both friendship and unspoken affection. As they prepare to marry at the dawn of a new century, their journey reveals deeper themes of emotional growth, the nature of love, and the impact of social expectations. The opening of the book introduces us to Walter and Margaret during a tranquil ship voyage back to New York after her time studying in Europe. Their conversation reveals their long-standing affection and Margaret's desire for a more intimate expression of love from Walter, who is portrayed as emotionally reserved. As they navigate their feelings, the narrative takes a scientific turn when celestial phenomena lead to a cataclysmic event involving the moon, propelling them into an extraordinary adventure that combines themes of exploration and romance. The story unfolds with a delicate mix of humor and introspection, laying the groundwork for both personal transformation and a broader exploration of humanity's relationship with the unknown.
