Romantic
This podcast presents May Sinclair's novel "The Romantic," a story about a young British secretary named Charlotte Redhead who becomes entangled in a degrading affair with her boss. She then renounces sex and forms a platonic bond with a young Bohemian, John Conway, and they rush off to Belgium at the start of World War I to run a volunteer ambulance corps. The romance of their adventure crumbles as ambulance corps compete for glory and the characters' true natures emerge, revealing the genuine human suffering of the war. The novel serves as an indictment of the author's own thrill-seeking past and reflects themes of the Lost Generation.
