Title Wild Youth, Volume 1.
Credits This eBook was produced by David Widger
Summary "Wild Youth, Volume 1" by Gilbert Parker is a novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative is set in the fictional town of Askatoon and introduces the tumultuous dynamics of life through the arrival of the Mazarine family, particularly focusing on young Louise Mazarine. The story unfolds against a backdrop of social complexities, individual struggles, and the buried tensions of rural life in the West. The opening of the book depicts the arrival of Joel Mazarine and his young wife, Louise, in Askatoon, which creates an immediate stir among the townspeople. Joel is a grizzled man much older than Louise, which evokes mixed feelings of sympathy and disapproval from the townsfolk. The story introduces the Young Doctor, who is intrigued by Louise's situation, seeing her as a captive to her husband's control. As Joel takes possession of his new home, the dynamics of their complex relationship become apparent, alongside hints of Louise's desire for freedom and a more vibrant life. The first chapters set the stage for ensuing drama and developments that challenge the boundaries of youth, love, and societal norms in a constrained environment.
