About this audiobook
On the misty coast of Wales, Beatrice Granger has learned to rely on her own courage and intelligence. Beautiful, fiercely independent, and unwilling to accept the narrow future others have chosen for her, she longs for a life with meaning beyond the confines of her village.
Then a chance encounter at sea brings her face to face with Geoffrey Bingham, a married London barrister. When a violent storm threatens both their lives, an extraordinary bond begins to form. What follows is a love neither of them sought, and one that society will never willingly forgive.
Caught between desire and duty, Beatrice must confront the claims of family, reputation, and conscience, while jealousy and ambition threaten to turn tenderness into tragedy. Can love remain honourable when happiness demands an impossible sacrifice?
Poignant and deeply moving, H. Rider Haggard’s Beatrice is a powerful Victorian novel of forbidden love, moral courage, and the price of remaining true to oneself against all odds.
