Summary

"The Flyers" by George Barr McCutcheon is a passionate story set in the early 1900s, where wealthy folks gather at a fancy country club on a drizzly spring day, each carrying secret desires and tangled love lives.

The story kicks off with a love triangle and lots of suspense. Joe feels bummed about having to compete for Eleanor's heart, while Eleanor secretly tries to break free from what society expects of her, leading to secret meetings with Joe, who becomes their best chance at finding true love amidst tricky situations and confusion. Their interactions suggest funny and romantic adventures are on the way, exploring ideas around love, social class differences, and the search for real joy.
