Sinopsis

In "Young Earnest," Gilbert Cannan crafts a compelling narrative that delves into the complexities of youthful ambition and romantic entanglement in early 20th-century England. The novel is characterized by its sharp dialogue, vivid characterizations, and a keen social critique that reflects the shifting dynamics of post-Victorian society. Cannan's literary style is marked by a blend of realism and lyrical prose, capturing the aspirations and disillusionments of its protagonist, Earnest, as he navigates the trials of youth against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving world. Gilbert Cannan, a prominent figure in the Bloomsbury Group, was deeply influenced by his own experiences in the vibrant cultural milieu of early modernism. His intimate understanding of artistic movements and personal struggles infused his work with both authenticity and depth. Cannan's background as a playwright, novelist, and social commentator allowed him to explore profound themes of identity and desire, making "Young Earnest" a reflection of his engagement with contemporary issues of class and morality. This novel is recommended for readers who appreciate intricate character studies and the exploration of personal growth. Cannan'Äôs lyrical approach invites readers to ponder their own quest for meaning and fulfillment. "Young Earnest" is not just a story of a man'Äôs journey; it is a meditation on the universal challenges that accompany our earnest endeavors.

     After hiding for decades, Winifred Grimsley, known as Miss Freddie, faces the past when her former boyfriend appears at her door as a Federal agent looking for her testimony. She'd run to protect him in the past. Now trouble is at her doorstep as they find themselves on the run from her former employer. 
    As a young woman, Winifred was a secretary for MAX Enterprises while waiting for a career in art education. She met and fell in love with Kent Russell, a young police officer and befriended the boss's young daughter. Max Whitney, her boss, asked her to participate in hacking other companies. When she refused, Max threatened Kent's life if Freddie told him about his request. 
    Freddie struck a deal with Max to save Kent but had to leave him without an explanation. That deal allowed her to travel to Europe for more art training. Eventually she settled down as an art teacher in rural Lee County, Virginia. Max and his evil choices no longer controlled her. 
    Until Max's daughter shows up at her door with Federal Agent Graham to find out what was in a package Max sent her before he died. 
    When Kent Russell sees the name of the woman who'd broken his heart on his agent's contact list, he leaves his desk job as head of an Ohio bureau to investigate this woman from his past. He'd tried to forget her. Kent had a wonderful wife, faithful and loving until cancer took her away. Freddie was another matter. She'd left him without an explanation. Anger fills his heart as he knocks on her door to demand answers. Is the woman still hiding secrets from him? Does he dare trust her when he has to face some of his own inadequacies? 
    When he is on the brink of finding out the truth, their reunion is shattered by the threats of two members of Max Whitney’s cybercriminal ring. They claim Freddie may have another secret and they will go to any length to find it. Even threaten Kent's grandchildren.
