Beatrice
1893
Beatrice is an 1893 novel by H. Rider Haggard that delves into themes of love, loss, and identity through the life of Beatrice Granger, a young schoolteacher. The story begins on her twenty-second birthday as she reflects on her past, particularly the death of her mother. Her life takes a turn when she meets Geoffrey Bingham, a barrister, during a curlew shooting expedition, leading to a complex love affair that challenges societal expectations and personal aspirations. Haggard regarded this work as one of his finest.

“Look into my eyes, and let me gaze on yours, and listen how these things shall be. The world is but a mockery, and a shadow is our flesh, for where once they were there shall be naught. Only Love is real; Love shall endure till all the suns are dead, and yet be young.””
— H. Rider Haggard
