At Sunwich Port
""At Sunwich Port"" is a novel written by W.W. Jacobs. The story is set in the fictional town of Sunwich Port, a small coastal village in England. The novel follows the lives of the town's inhabitants, including the wealthy merchant, Mr. Nicodemus Hicks, and his family, as well as the poor fishermen and sailors who make up the majority of the population. The plot revolves around the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Captain Nat Kemp, who brings with him a secret that threatens to upend the entire town. As the story unfolds, the reader is drawn into a world of intrigue, romance, and betrayal, as the characters struggle to come to terms with their own desires and the challenges of their environment. Throughout the novel, Jacobs skillfully weaves together themes of class, tradition, and the struggle for power, creating a rich and complex portrait of a small town community. With its vivid characters and engaging plot, ""At Sunwich Port"" is a classic work of English literature that continues to captivate readers today.Mr. Nugent's return caused a sensation in several quarters, the feeling at Equator Lodge bordering close upon open mutiny. Even Mrs. Kingdom plucked up spirit and read the astonished captain a homily upon the first duties of a parent--a homily which she backed up by reading the story of the Prodigal Son through to the bitter end. At the conclusion she broke down entirely and was led up to bed by Kate and Bella, the sympathy of the latter taking an acute form, and consisting mainly of innuendoes which could only refer to one person in the house.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
