| Summary |
"At the Crossroads" by Harriet T. Comstock is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Brace Northrup, a man recovering from illness and grappling with feelings of depression and uncertainty about his identity and purpose. As he embarks on a journey seeking clarity in his life, he stumbles upon a little yellow house at a crossroads, which becomes a pivotal location in his quest for self-discovery. The opening of the narrative introduces Brace Northrup in a doctor’s office, where he confides in his friend Doctor Manly about his struggles with writing and purpose after a serious illness. Encouraged to detach from his past and venture into the world, Northrup finds himself at a crossroads both literally and metaphorically. Upon arriving at the yellow house, he encounters Mary-Clare, a captivating woman who appears to hold a significant but mysterious role in his unfolding story. As the narrative unfolds, themes of love, identity, and the consequences of choices begin to emerge, setting the stage for Northrup's journey toward understanding himself and the complex relationships that surround him.
