"Miles Murchison" by Agnes Giberne, is a story set long ago about the trials and triumphs of the Murchison family. The book opens with the Murchisons, particularly the mother, Mrs. Murchison, and her son Miles, dealing with life after a terrible accident shakes their world. Initially, the family is shown as a close-knit group facing everyday problems, but their values of strength and compassion shine through. A fateful trip to the beach turns tragic when a cliff collapses, taking the life of young Bessie and injuring Jervis. At the same time, their lives become connected to a boy named Bertram Kingscote. The story then follows Mrs. Murchison as she copes with loss, and how Miles' bravery creates a special connection with the Kingscote family. The novel explores themes of grief, survival, and the surprising bonds that can form in difficult times.
