| Summary | "Flaming Youth" by Samuel Hopkins Adams is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the complex life of Mona Fentriss, a woman in a tumultuous, luxurious marriage who navigates her desires, societal expectations, and personal struggles. Through Mona, the narrative explores themes of femininity, freedom, and the search for meaning against the backdrop of the changing values of the time. The opening of "Flaming Youth" introduces readers to the vibrant and somewhat chaotic world of the Fentriss household. Mona Fentriss is depicted as a compelling and attractive woman who is engaged in a candid conversation with her physician, Dr. Osterhout, revealing nuances of her complex emotional state regarding her marriage, motherhood, and societal pressures. As the dialogue unfolds, it becomes evident that Mona is caught between the expectations of her life and her longing for greater freedom and excitement. The interactions among Mona, her husband Ralph, and her children add layers to her character, hinting at the generational conflicts and challenges faced by women of her era. The narrative establishes a lively setting marked by social gatherings and personal revelations that promise an intriguing exploration of youth and desire throughout the novel.
