| Summary | "The Desired Woman" by Will N. Harben is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the bustling atmosphere of Atlanta, offering a glimpse into the lives of its characters primarily set within and around a local bank, where business dealings and personal relationships intertwine. The opening of the book introduces us to Jarvis Saunders and his partner, Dick Mostyn, who are embroiled in the pressures of the banking world. Mostyn appears to be suffering from the intense stress related to recent business dealings, hinting at his personal struggles. As Saunders navigates workplace dynamics and external pressures, such as an irate client with claims against Mostyn, we begin to witness the tension and challenges the characters face. Additionally, Mostyn's longing for a simpler life is foreshadowed as he contemplates a much-needed retreat to the mountains to escape the confines of his business obligations. The opening chapters set the stage for the complex interplay of ambition, social relationships, and romantic aspirations that will likely unfold throughout the novel.
