About this ebook
and quot;Beatrice and quot; was first published in 1890, and was H. Rider Haggard and #39;s 10th novel, out of 58 titles. Unlike so many of his other books, and quot;Beatrice and quot; is one that features almost no action scenes whatsoever; no lost races, no adventure, no battles, no supernatural elements. What it IS, is a beautifully written romance novel; indeed, is is one of Haggard and #39;s most emotional works. It tells the story of the ill-fated love affair between Beatrice Granger, an unmarried Welsh school teacher, and Geoffrey Bingham, an unhappily married barrister who lives in London. This all starts after Beatrice saves Geoffrey and #39;s life in a canoeing accident during a tremendous storm and #40;in the book and #39;s only true action set piece and #41;, and the two become interested in one another. Trouble awaits, in the form of Bingham and #39;s wife Honoria and #40;who and #39;s only interested in money and social climbing and #41;, Owen Davies and #40;one of the richest men in Wales, who is morbidly obsessed with marrying Beatrice and #41;, and Elizabeth and #40;Beatrice and #39;s older sister, who will do just about anything to marry Davies herself and #41;.
