Narrative As Books The Green Ray (Extraordinary Voyages, #23)
When the Morning Post writes about the legendary Green Ray's elevating effects on the mind and soul, Helena Campbell vows to experience it for herself, postponing the wedding being forced upon her against her will. Together with her uncles, Sam and Sib Melville, she sets off on what becomes a near-epic quest. Joining them in the search are two would-be suitors for Helena, one an artist, the other an amateur scientist. Together, they will voyage to a distant shore - and beyond - braving hurricanes, testing their patience and resolve, and ultimately finding their own true selves.

From Master storyteller Jules Verne comes a little known Romantic comedy set on the coast of Scotland.Miss Helena Campbell is getting Married. Only she is the last one to find out and what's more is the she utterly detests the man. So as a delay she insists she can not marry until she has seen "The Green Ray" that last flash of green light emmited by the sun as it slips over the horizon and into the sea.Her uncles readily agree and it's off to the west coast, of scotland, for the perfecct viewFingals cave!!
This has not quite the soaring scope of the better-known Verne stories more of a fun little Victorian romance, really. It does have the classic Verne trope of a science geek who's a bit too smart for his own good much too much so, in this case. But the book's an interesting travelogue of the west Scottish archipelago, if nothing else! I followed along on Google maps and Wikipedia, and found myself far, far afield... which is worth something right there.

Not really good. Jules Verne could have done much better. Miss Campbell was whiny and everyone else was clichéd.Don't read this book unless you want to visit Scotland.
- Now, M. Verne, I'm going to put you next to M. Proust. His new book, A L'Ombre des Jeunes Filles en Fleurs, has just come out. I'm sure you'll be dying to talk to him about it.- But Madame, I am afraid this is impossible. - Et pourquoi c'est impossible?- I have been dead for fourteen years.- Ah, M. Verne, always so exact with numbers! Not another word, please. Let me introduce you. M. Proust, M. Verne.- Enchanté, monsieur.- Enchanté.- Ah, alors, M. Proust, maybe you will be so kind as to tell
