The Quest: A Romance
Produced by Al Haines
"The Quest: A Romance" by Justus Miles Forman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds primarily around the central character, Ste. Marie, an enchanting yet complex figure navigating his feelings for the beautiful Helen Benham while grappling with a mysterious family crisis involving her missing brother. The narrative is set against the backdrop of Paris, where themes of love, ambition, and identity intermingle. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Ste. Marie, who is in the company of his friend Hartley as they make their way to a dinner party. There’s a palpable tension in Ste. Marie’s demeanor, hinting at an emotional burden that connects to a sense of calamity he feels in the air. As they journey through the vibrant streets of Paris, the quiet yet haunting presence of a mysterious young woman draws Ste. Marie's attention, igniting a sense of intrigue and longing in him. Additionally, the opening chapters set the stage for the larger plot involving the disappearance of Helen's brother, Arthur Benham, which weighs heavily on the family and intertwines with Ste. Marie's aspirations and romantic pursuits, particularly in relation to Helen, who is grappling with her own conflicts between love and ambition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
