A novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds primarily around the life of Carnac Grier, a young man torn between his artistic ambitions and the heavy expectations set upon him as the son of a powerful lumber-king in Canada. At its heart, the book explores the complexities of familial relationships, personal identity, and the struggle between the artistic and commercial realms. The opening of ''Carnac's Folly'' introduces us to Carnac as a spirited fourteen-year-old boy who shares a tender friendship with a young girl named Junia. Their youthful innocence is juxtaposed with Carnac's inner turmoil regarding his father's expectations and the lumber business that looms over his life. After a dramatic accident involving Denzil, a family servant, we see a snapshot of Carnac's character—a boy with big dreams and a rebellious spirit against conventionality. Eleven years later, he grapples with the consequences of his choices, including a hasty, mistaken marriage to Luzanne, a woman he feels unprepared to commit to. The narrative sets the stage for Carnac's eventual conflict between fulfilling family loyalty and pursuing his artistic passion, while also hinting at deeper relationships that will evolve as the story progresses.
