Death of Society: A Novel of Tomorrow

by Florence Roma Muir Wilson

Set against the backdrop of the desolate aftermath of the Great War, "The Death of Society" delves into the profound existential and spiritual journey of Major Rane Smith. Haunted by the horrors he witnessed, Smith seeks solace in the serene landscapes of Norway. Destiny leads him to the enigmatic abode of Karl Ingman, a brilliant yet disillusioned scholar, and his family. Within the confines of their secluded home, Smith engages in thought-provoking conversations with Ingman, his ethereal wife Rosa, and their enchanting daughters. As days turn into nights, Smith's weary soul is gradually awakened by the power of human connection, the beauty of nature, and the enduring search for meaning in a world seemingly devoid of it.
