"Somehow Good" by William De Morgan is a book that starts with a strong, nameless man arriving in London after a sea voyage. The catch is, he can't remember anything about his life before that. The story follows him as he tries to figure out who he is, facing the challenges of amnesia in the big city. Early on, he looks for money he thinks he has at a bank, only to find out he has no credit. He quickly gets involved in a messy situation, stepping in to stop domestic violence in a poor neighborhood, which shows he's a natural protector. This heroic act introduces him to the Nightingale family, who seem like they'll be important as he works to recover his memory and identity.
