"Miles Murchison" by Agnes Giberne is a novel likely written in the late 19th century.

The opening chapters establish a setting filled with warmth, familial bonds, and the challenges the family faces, emphasizing themes of resilience and kindness amid hardship. The beginning of the narrative introduces the Murchison family as they embark on a day trip to the seaside, which they anticipate will be a joyful escape from their daily struggles. Mrs. Murchison reflects on her life with her husband, Jervis, and their children, revealing a deep love and appreciation for family life despite its challenges. However, their trip takes a disastrous turn when a cliff collapse occurs, killing young Bessie and injuring Jervis while also intertwining their fate with that of a boy named Bertram Kingscote. This initial setup builds a poignant exploration of loss and survival, as Mrs. Murchison finds herself grappling with grief while her son Miles rises to the occasion, displaying bravery that creates a lasting bond with the Kingscote family.
