Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"There Is Sorrow on the Sea" by Gilbert Parker is a historical novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of 18th-century England and follows themes of love, identity, and betrayal, threaded through a tale of smuggling and familial conflict. The story centers on the intertwined lives of several characters, primarily the protagonist, Cousin Dick, and his love interest, Fanny. The book begins with Cousin Dick reflecting on his past, particularly his complex relationship with his cousin Fanny and his tumultuous connection with Lancy Doane, a coast-guardsman. As tensions rise due to smuggling activities tied to Dick's outlaw brother, Tom Doane, the narrative captures the emotional struggles and moral dilemmas faced by the characters. Dick's decision to assist Tom leads to a dramatic sequence of events, including betrayal, violence, and the pursuit by the authorities. Ultimately, the story explores not only the consequences of their choices but also the enduring bonds of love and the hope for redemption, culminating in a poignant resolution between the characters.
