Wanted: A Husband. A Novel
David Widger
"Wanted: A Husband" by Samuel Hopkins Adams is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Miss Darcy Cole, a downcast young woman yearning for recognition and beauty, who feels overshadowed by her more glamorous friends. The novel explores her journey of self-discovery and transformation, particularly through her relationship with the confident and successful actress, Gloria Greene, who takes Darcy under her wing to help her find her own self-worth and societal acceptance. The opening of the novel introduces us to Darcy as she climbs the stairs to Gloria's apartment, grappling with a sense of defeat and hopelessness about her life and appearance. We learn that she compares herself unfavorably to her friends, who are embarking on romantic engagements while she remains alone and invisible. Upon arriving at Gloria's, she pours out her woes, revealing her deep desire to be seen and appreciated in the way her friends are. Their conversation quickly develops into an insightful dialogue as Gloria attempts to motivate Darcy to embrace self-improvement and personal growth, setting the stage for Darcy's future transformation. This sets into motion a tale of resilience, ambition, and the pursuit of self-identity amidst societal expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
