| Summary | "The Innocents: A Story for Lovers" by Sinclair Lewis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Mr. and Mrs. Seth Appleby, an aging couple who reminisce about their youthful love while embarking on an attempt to start a new life managing a tea-room on Cape Cod. As they embrace the simplicity of love and companionship, they navigate the trials and tribulations that come with fulfilling their dreams in the context of societal expectations and personal aspirations. At the start of the story, the Applebys are depicted in their daily lives, reflecting the dynamics of their long-lasting marriage filled with affection and playful banter. Their mundane yet charming existence in New York City is contrasted with their aspirations for a vacation and a new venture. In a bid to escape the confines of their old lives, Father concocts a plan for a summer tea-room, and the couple's excitement grows as they anticipate the freedom and adventure that awaits them on Cape Cod. Through their misadventures and the challenges presented by their surroundings, the opening chapters set the stage for a deeper exploration of identity, love, and the often harsh realities faced by those pursuing their dreams.
