The Breaking Point ReviewRinehart has created a fascinating hero in this mystery, and he's doomed to suffer mightily from her investigations into character.
Dick Livingston is 32 years old and lives with his elderly uncle and aunt. Both Dick and his Uncle David are doctors in a town that values all the old-fashioned virtues. Dick is perfectly happy with his life until he falls in love with Elizabeth, a lovely young woman who sings in the choir.
He's not comfortable with marrying until he clears up certain mysteries in his past. It seems Dick lost his memory ten years back. His Uncle David found him desperately ill in a remote cabin in Wyoming, restored his health and led him out of the mountains in a strangely surreptitious manner, as if Dick were some kind of fugitive.
Could he, indeed, be a fugitive? Uncle David is keeping something back. Dick decides to return to Wyoming, where he lost his previous self, and find out who he really is.
Rinehart's book, while both a mystery and a love story, is also an exploration of psychological questions. Psychology was young when this book was published (1922), and Rinehart caught the fever of examining the nature of mind. Her hero is really two people - each separately influenced by circumstance - with a wall between them. The reader anxiously awaits the breaking point that will bring down the wall.
I liked this book a lot. It may not represent the latest scientific thinking, but it showed an adventurous intellect in its day. I always enjoy looking through a window in time, seeing how people thought and lived a century ago. Aside from all that, the story is engaging, full of interesting characters and surprising developments.The Breaking Point OverviewThe Wheeler house was good, modern and commonplace. Walter Wheeler and his wife were like the house. Just as here and there among the furniture there was a fine thing, an antique highboy, a Sheraton sideboard or some old cut glass, so they had, with a certain mediocrity their own outstanding virtues. They liked music, believed in the home as the unit of the nation, put happiness before undue ambition, and had devoted their lives to their children. For many years their lives had centered about the children. For years they had held anxious conclave about whooping cough, about small early disobediences, later about Sunday tennis. They stood united to protect the children against disease, trouble and eternity.--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
