| Summary | "The Silent Shore: A Romance" by John Bloundelle-Burton is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story weaves the romantic entanglements and societal expectations surrounding the main characters, particularly focusing on Gervase Occleve, Viscount Penlyn, and his fiancée, Ida Raughton. Their impending marriage intertwines with the complications of Gervase's past and unexpected family revelations that could ripple through their relationship. The opening of the novel introduces Gervase and his friend Philip as they are caught in a storm while yachting. While finding ways to entertain themselves at the Hôtel Bellevue, they discover historical registers revealing a familial connection that shakes Gervase's understanding of his own identity. This leads to the haunting realization that his father may have a mysterious past that complicates his relationship with Ida. Meanwhile, Ida is depicted reflecting on her soon-to-be marriage, simultaneously wrestling with the implications of unsaid sentiments toward another man, Walter Cundall. These layers set the stage for deep emotional conflict and a quest for truth that drives the narrative forward. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
