The Thunderbolt (1920)

By Gertrude Colmore

Book Overview

The Thunderbolt is a novel written by Gertrude Colmore and originally published in 1920. Set in London during the early 20th century, the book tells the story of a young woman named Rosamund who is forced to confront the realities of love, marriage, and social expectations. Rosamund is engaged to a wealthy man named Philip, but she finds herself drawn to a charismatic artist named Mark. As she struggles to reconcile her feelings for both men, Rosamund must also navigate the expectations of her family and society, which demand that she marry for money and social status rather than love. The novel explores themes of love, desire, duty, and the constraints of social class, offering a nuanced portrait of a young woman's coming of age in a rapidly changing world. With its vivid descriptions of London's social scene and its complex characters, The Thunderbolt remains a classic of early 20th-century literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
