"Gloria" by George Frederic Turner is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story follows George Trafford, a young American grappling with heartbreak, and his encounters in the festive yet tumultuous atmosphere of New York City and later in the small European country of Grimland. As he navigates his feelings for the enigmatic Angela Knox, the narrative hints at larger political intrigues involving the exiled Princess Gloria von Schattenberg and her connection to a renegade priest. The opening of the book sets the stage on Christmas Eve in New York City, highlighting the vibrant chaos of the streets filled with joyous citizens. George Trafford, portrayed as a man desperate for connection after a love rejection, tries to reach out to Angela Knox but finds himself overwhelmed in a crowd. After a moment of heartbreak, he retreats to his apartment where he contemplates suicide until interrupted by his friend Bob Saunders. The dialogue between them introduces Trafford's struggles with love and meaning, laying a foundation for his subsequent journey to Grimland, where political tensions rise, and Trafford's character is further explored through his participation in a skating competition and his evolving relationships with those around him, including Princess Gloria.
