The House On The Beach is a novel written by George Meredith, first published in 1877. The story is set in the fictional town of Dipwell, situated on the coast of England. The protagonist, Richard, is a young man who inherits a house on the beach from his uncle. The house is dilapidated and in need of repair, but Richard is determined to restore it to its former glory.As Richard begins to renovate the house, he becomes increasingly drawn to the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. He spends his days exploring the beach, swimming in the sea, and observing the local wildlife. However, his idyllic existence is disrupted by the arrival of two women: his cousin, Clare, and her friend, Cecilia.Clare is a wealthy and sophisticated woman who is engaged to be married to a man she does not love. Cecilia is a young artist who is passionate about nature and the environment. Richard is immediately attracted to Cecilia, but he is torn between his feelings for her and his loyalty to his cousin.As the story unfolds, Richard becomes embroiled in a complex love triangle, as he tries to navigate his feelings for both women. Meanwhile, he must also deal with the challenges of renovating the house and the financial pressures that come with it.The House On The Beach is a beautifully written novel that explores themes of love, nature, and the human condition. It is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers today.Annette did not shun him next morning. She did not shun the subject, either. But she had been exact in arranging that she should not be more than a few minutes downstairs before her father. Herbert found, that compared with her, girls of sentiment are commonplace indeed. She had conceived an insane idea of nobility in Tinman that blinded her to his face, figure, and character--his manners, likewise. He had forgiven a blow!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
