Summary: "The Sea Lady" by H. G. Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the unexpected arrival of a mermaid, referred to as the Sea Lady, who comes ashore during a summer day on a beach in Folkestone. The narrative centers around the experiences of the Bunting family and their guests, particularly the two Miss Glendowers, as they encounter this ethereal being, leading to a blend of fantastical themes with social commentary and the complexities of human relationships. At the start of the book, the Sea Lady mysteriously appears while the Buntings are at the beach, and a dramatic rescue ensues when it looks as though she might drown. The narrative sets up a humorous yet thought-provoking dilemma as the characters grapple with her existence—particularly in how the mermaid navigates her newfound life with humans while concealing her true nature. As the readers are introduced to various figures, including the determined Mrs. Bunting and her daughters, along with an engaged couple, the story weaves together elements of adventure, societal norms, and the quest for identity, particularly that of the Sea Lady as she attempts to integrate into human society and possibly gain a soul.
