De qué trata este libro
What would make a rich, clever young woman pack a dog collar and a nightgown into a small bag and slip out of her father's house at night to run away with a travelling actor? That is the question at the heart of Infatuation, a novel by Lloyd Osbourne. Phyllis Ladd is twenty, beautiful, and the only child of a railroad president. She has already turned away two splendid suitors, because eligibility is not enough to make her love.

A Motherless Girl Becomes Her Father's Companion
Phyllis Ladd loses her mother at twelve, and the book says this sets her apart for life. Early sorrow gives her a clear, sharp view of the world. It also gives her a father she hardly knew.
Robert Ladd is president of the K. B. and O. Railway. After his wife dies he is so low that he hands a friend a loaded revolver. He holds his small daughter like a shield against despair. Slowly their shared grief gives way to laughter and an hour of talk every night before bed.
In those talks he explains his business in plain words, and she learns to see through other people's eyes. At fifteen she runs the big house, after he sends away a string of housekeepers. The old cats of Carthage predict trouble for a girl raised this way.
Her closeness to her father gives her wit, nerve and freedom. It also sets a standard no young man in Carthage can reach.
A girl raised as her father's equal will expect the same from the man she loves.
That’s 1 of 10 key points.

Questions about Enamoramiento
What is Infatuation by Lloyd Osbourne about?
It tells of Phyllis Ladd, the rich daughter of a railroad president, who rejects two fine suitors and then falls for a travelling actor. The story follows her marriage, the quarrel with her father, and their struggle in New York.
Who is Cyril Adair in the book?
Adair is a handsome, hot-tempered actor who grew up in the New York slums and learned to read and perform through a settlement worker. He plays Corrèze in Moths, and Phyllis calls him by that name at first.
What does the Golden Young Man mean?
It is Phyllis's joking name for the ideal man she hopes to find, a real man worth loving. She and her father talk of hunting for him in cellars, mountains, and ships.
When was Infatuation written and is it a true story?
It is a novel by Lloyd Osbourne set in the early 1900s, with horse-drawn carriages, nickel telephones, and Broadway stars. The characters and plot are invented, though the theater and city details feel true to the period.
What is the main message of Infatuation?
The book argues that real love is a daily labor of devotion and that it can change a person. It also shows how a father's protective love, if it tries to control, can push a daughter away.
