Maurice Guest

** "Maurice Guest" by "Henry Handel Richardson" is about a hopeful young musician named Maurice Guest who goes to Leipzig, Germany, looking to make a name for himself. As he tries to achieve his artistic dreams, he finds himself dealing with new relationships, especially with a puzzling woman named Louise Dufrayer. The story begins with Maurice leaving a concert feeling motivated and ambitious; he walks through Leipzig, enjoying the exciting environment while also feeling sad and missing home. Soon, he meets Madeleine Wade, a lively young woman who supports his music goals, which is different from his growing interest in Louise. This beginning shows Maurice's deep desire for friendship and success in music as he faces life in a foreign city, which prepares the reader for the complicated story to come. **
