"Where Deep Seas Moan" by E. Gallienne Robin is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set on the picturesque island of Guernsey and introduces readers to a cast of characters including the beautiful Blaisette Simon, who is the daughter of a wealthy farmer, and the intense and passionate Ellenor Cartier, a less affluent girl captivated by the enigmatic Dominic Le Mierre. The narrative explores the complexities of love, rivalry, and the supernatural against the backdrop of island life and folk traditions. The opening of the book paints an atmospheric picture of the island as autumn winds stir the environment. We meet Blaisette, characterized by her charm and beauty, as she is contrasted with the more angular and haughty Ellenor, who feels a magnetic pull toward Dominic, a bachelor with a respectable reputation. The narrative quickly establishes a sense of tension as Ellenor is driven by her impulsive nature to explore the mysterious "Haunted House," leading to a life-changing encounter with Dominic. As secrets unravel and relationships begin to form, the stage is set for a story filled with passion, jealousy, and the resonating echoes of the island's eerie folklore. The intricacies of Ellenor's feelings for Dominic and her dynamic with Blaisette hint at the dramatic developments awaiting readers as the plot unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
