E-text prepared by Al Haines
"The Man in Lonely Land" by Kate Langley Bosher is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Winthrop Laine, a man of substance, who grapples with deep feelings of isolation and the burden of success in his life. The narrative explores themes of companionship, love, and societal expectations as Laine navigates a world filled with the joys and pains of human connection. At the start of the book, we meet Winthrop Laine as he returns home on a dreary winter's day to his ailing collie, General. Reflecting on life and his relationships, Laine feels a mixture of impatience and melancholy about his solitary existence. His sister, Mrs. Channing Warrick, calls upon him for an unexpected dinner, leading him to meet his cousin, Claudia Keith. As they interact, Laine’s initial reluctance begins to shift, revealing his growing interest in Claudia amid the complexities of his emotions. This opening sets the stage for a story of transformation and exploration of personal connections against a backdrop of social gatherings and familial obligations.
