| Summary |
"Glen of the High North" by H. A. Cody is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Tom Reynolds, a young man grappling with the monotony of civilian life after returning from the Great War. The initial chapters introduce Reynolds as he is captivated by a mysterious girl named Glen, whom he sees across a street, igniting a desire for adventure and purpose in his otherwise dull existence. At the start of the novel, Reynolds's chance encounter with Glen transforms his outlook on life, prompting him to abandon his unfulfilling newspaper job in search of meaning and excitement in the North. As he boards a steamer headed toward the Yukon for a mining adventure, thoughts of Glen linger in his mind. The opening chapters set a tone of longing and exploration, intertwining themes of personal discovery and romantic intrigue as Reynolds embarks on a quest not only for gold but also to understand his feelings for Glen, who is revealed to have her own complicated story involving her father, Jim Weston, and a sense of foreboding related to her suitor, Curly.
