Derval Hampton: A Story of the Sea, Volume 1 (of 2)
A ruined gentleman, a windswept Devon village, and the unforgiving sea that promises both salvation and destruction. Greville Hampton once wore a title and moved in elevated circles; now he counts every farthing in the fishing hamlet of Finglecombe, where the Atlantic pounds the shore and a man's worth is measured by the catch he brings in. Alongside his patient wife Mary and their young son Derval, Greville must navigate the particular humiliation of former prominence meeting present penury. The sea offers opportunity to those brave enough to seize it, but the ocean takes as much as it gives. This is a story of swallowed pride, hard-won resilience, and the corrosive loneliness of a man who remembers having been someone.
