Summary: "The Passion for Life" by Joseph Hocking is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Francis Erskine, a barrister who, after receiving a terminal diagnosis, decides to retreat to a wooden hut in the seaside village of St. Issey, Cornwall, to live out his last days. Throughout the book, themes of life and death, the search for meaning, and the contrast between light and shadow in existence are explored. The opening of the novel introduces us to Francis Erskine's restless state of mind as he contemplates his life and impending death. After receiving the distressing news from his doctor, he resolves to abandon his London life and relocate to Cornwall for a more peaceful existence. Accompanied by his loyal servant, Simpson, he arrives at St. Issey, where he begins to reflect on his thoughts and encounters the local atmosphere. As he explores his new surroundings and wrestles with profound questions about life and spirituality, a series of visitors—local residents and a vicar—bring him into the fold of village life while hinting at an intriguing mystery surrounding the place he now calls home.
