"The Romantic" by May Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century.

The narrative explores her tumultuous relationship with Gibson Herbert and her evolving feelings towards John Roden Conway, creating a rich tapestry of emotions and conflicts that reflect the intricacies of love and identity. At the start of the novel, Charlotte reflects on her strained farewell with Gibson, who elicits both longing and confusion in her heart. As she mentally grapples with her past affection and dreams of independence, she finds herself momentarily invigorated by the beauty of her surroundings and the assertiveness of her thoughts. When she meets John Conway, a companion who embodies both adventure and a sense of purpose, the story hints at promising possibilities for Charlotte’s future. Their interactions reveal Charlotte's desire to break free from the emotional constraints of her previous relationship, as she contemplates making bold choices and new beginnings in her life.
