Summary | "Excavating a Husband" by Ella Bell Wallis is a novel published in the early 20th century. Set during a time when societal expectations for women were shifting, the book revolves around themes of romance, adventure, and the pursuit of hidden treasure, demonstrating how personal aspirations can intertwine with the larger narratives of life. The story primarily follows the engaging character of Katherine Boulby, a single woman of fifty who seeks meaning and excitement beyond the confines of her domestic existence. The narrative unfolds as Katherine and her brother Joseph move to a seaside home once owned by the mysterious Captain Peter Shannon, who has not been heard from in several years. Katherine's fascination with the Captain deepens as she discovers his personal belongings and a thrilling log of his shipwreck. Convinced that he must have hidden treasure, she enlists the help of Mr. Murphy, a charming stranger who may have ulterior motives. As they embark on a quest for the treasure, humorous and romantic entanglements ensue, challenging Katherine's views on love and companionship. Ultimately, the journey leads to unexpected revelations about treasure—both material and in human relationships—culminating in a delightful resolution. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
