Summary “The Younger Set” by Robert W. Chambers is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Captain Philip Selwyn, who returns to New York from his service in the tropics, deeply affected by personal tragedy and a tumultuous romantic past. The story captures Selwyn's struggle to reconnect with his family, particularly his sister Nina and the younger members of their social circle, as he grapples with loss, guilt, and a desire to find his place in a world that feels alien to him. The opening of the book introduces a blend of characters, including Selwyn, who arrives in the bustling environment of New York City after an absence due to military service. His sister, Nina, provides a warm welcome, hinting at the vibrant family dynamic and societal expectations he must navigate. As they converse, shadows of Selwyn's past emerge, particularly his strained relationship with his ex-wife, Alixe, who is now married to another man. The scene captures Selwyn’s discomfort and the vibrant chaos of a family gathering, setting the stage for his journey of rediscovery within the backdrop of the younger society of New York.
