| 520 | _a"Instead of the Thorn: A Novel" by Clara Louise Burnham is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the backdrop of early 1916, primarily revolving around the lives of Chicago socialites and their interactions. The narrative introduces us to key characters like Linda Barry, an athletic and confident young woman, her parents, and their friends, capturing the nuances of their relationships, desires, and social expectations during this era. The opening of the novel unfolds with a dinner gathering at the South Shore Club, where Mr. and Mrs. Radcliffe are hosting their New York friends, the Lindsays. The space provides a picturesque view of Lake Michigan, creating a vibrant ambiance as the couples engage in conversation that hints at their lives and social standings. The character of Linda Barry is introduced through the Her family dynamics, particularly her relationships with her parents and potential suitors, including the serious Bertram King, who seems to have deeper feelings for her, contrasting with her carefree spirit and rebelliousness against traditional expectations. Throughout the initial chapters, the novel hints at themes of social class, personal aspirations, and the impact of familial ties on individual choices.
