Dodsworth by Sinclair Lewis
The novel follows the journey of Sam Dodsworth, a recently retired American automobile magnate, as he embarks on a European tour with his restless wife Fran. Throughout their travels, the couple encounters cultural differences and personal revelations that test their marriage and individual values. As Fran seeks excitement and social status among the European elite, Sam finds himself drawn to the continent's history and slower pace of life. The narrative explores themes of American versus European sensibilities, the search for identity and purpose in later life, and the strains of marriage against the backdrop of changing social norms in the early 20th century.
