Bored of the parties and luxuries that come with her socialite
lifestyle, Claire Boltwood longs for something more authentic in
her life. Desperate for adventure, Claire and her father decide to
travel from New York City to the Pacific Northwest in their
automobile, a new privilege enjoyed by the rich. Though he is a
clever businessman, Claire’s father knows nothing about cars, so
he encourages Claire to drive, challenging the gender stereotypes
of the early 20th century. Starting in New York City, Claire and
her father hit the open road, feeling exhilarated and free. As they
travel northwest, they eat food from cuisine below their usual
standards, see new sights, and face everyday problems that people
of their privilege usually do not. Among these problems is an
unexpected trouble with their car, and so the Boltwood’s are
forced to stay in a small town nearby as they leave their
automobile in the hands of a mechanic named Milt Daggett. Born and
raised in the small, unassuming town, Milt is one of the few people
within the town that aspires for more in his life. But, he was
caught in a rut before he met Claire. As the two grow closer and
inspire drastic changes in the other’s personality, Claire and
Milt realize that the unfortunate circumstances that led to their
chance encounter might have been the best thing to ever happen in
their lives. With surprising sentimentality and authenticity,
Sinclair Lewis’ Free Air awakens a yearning in its reader’s
soul. Featuring detailed descriptions of the Boltwood’s travels
and the people they meet, Free Air creates a visceral reading
experience. Set during the early 20th century in various states in
America, Lewis depicts themes of class, feminism, and
egalitarianism as Free Air provides an intimate look into American
culture. This edition of Free Air by Sinclair Lewis features an
eye-catching new cover design and is printed in a modern font to
cater to contemporary audiences.
