About this book
In the early 20th century, as the tides of change swept through society, Arthur Quiller-Couch's "Shining Ferry" explores the intricate lives of those tethered to the sea and their evolving roles within a burgeoning community. Central to this narrative is John Rosewarne, a man grappling with familial duty and local commerce, embodying the tension between tradition and progress. The novel intricately portrays the duality of human ambition and the natural world, inviting readers to reflect on the balance between personal desires and communal responsibilities. Ideal for students and civic activists, "Shining Ferry" serves as a profound examination of character and consequence, making it a compelling read for those interested in the complexities of early modern life.
