One Day At Arle

"One Day At Arle" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a sorrowful story about love and the challenges it brings, taking place in a small fishing village on England's coast in the late 1800s. The book tells the tale of Meg Lonas, a young woman who is unhappy because of her troubled marriage to the jealous Seth Lonas. Her old flame, Dan Morgan, comes back to town, stirring up old feelings and making things even more complicated. As they deal with the consequences of their past choices, the story builds to a sad ending that forces Meg to face her life and the effect it has had on her ability to love and trust.
