| Summary | "Lola" by Owen Davis is a dramatic novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Lola Barnhelm, a young girl navigating the complexities of love, family, and ambition, as her father, Doctor Martin Barnhelm, strives for success in his medical research while grappling with the emotional stakes of his daughter’s burgeoning romance. The narrative explores themes of sacrifice, the quest for identity, and the impact of societal expectations on personal desires. At the start of the novel, we meet Lola and her father in their home, where Lola is concerned about her father's health and dedication to his experimental work. The opening scene sets a tender tone, portraying their close relationship as they discuss his inventions and her future. However, the discovery that John Dorris, Lola's suitor, is in love with her adds tension, propelling the narrative into a web of romance and conflict. Themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of life are introduced, foreshadowing the complexities that will unfold in Lola's journey as she confronts love and ambition against the backdrop of her father’s aspirations and the repercussions of societal pressures.
