Summary

"The House Under the Sea: A Romance" by Max Pemberton is a story set in the early 1900s, about Jasper Begg, a sailor on a puzzling trip to Ken's Island. He thinks his journey is because his old flame, Ruth Bellenden, who is married to someone else, asked him through a letter to come help her. The book gives off a vibe of romance, excitement, and people dealing with difficult relationships. Jasper starts off on the steamship Southern Cross headed to the Pacific, towards Ken’s Island. The crew don't know why they're going there, but Jasper remembers Ruth and their history as they get closer to the island. The beginning builds suspense as Jasper notices weird things and feels like something bad is about to happen, especially when he's about to meet Ruth again in her strange new place. The story promises a mix of thrill and complex emotions as Jasper gets ready to face the island's challenges and reconnect with Ruth.
