| Summary |
"Jason: A Romance" by Justus Miles Forman is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of Paris, the story primarily focuses on the character Ste. Marie, a charming young man who finds himself entangled in a web of romance, mystery, and personal aspirations. As he navigates the vibrant streets of the city, Ste. Marie's unfolding love story intertwines with the perplexing issues surrounding the disappearance of a young man named Arthur Benham, adding layers of intrigue to his romantic pursuits. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Ste. Marie and his friend Hartley as they make their way to a dinner party in Paris. Their conversation is jovial but hints at a deeper mystery involving Arthur, Helen Benham's younger brother, who has vanished without a trace. Helen is deeply affected by her brother's disappearance, prompting discussions of family strain and desperation. Amidst the unfolding drama, Ste. Marie becomes captivated by Helen’s enchanting beauty and individuality, which contrasts his usual carefree romantic encounters. This first portion sets the stage for an emotional exploration of love, loyalty, and the unknown while immersing the reader in the Parisian atmosphere filled with cultural and social nuances.
