"The Garden of God" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a vivid setting of the South Seas and revolves around the themes of loss, longing, and a search for lost loved ones. The central character is Lestrange, a father who has spent years searching for his children, only to discover their tragic fate, which plunges him into a mix of grief and hopeful visions of their return. The opening of the narrative reveals a dramatic moment as a whale boat discovers a dinghy containing the bodies of two lost children and their mother, raising strong emotions of despair and helplessness. Lestrange's heart-wrenching realization of their deaths sets the tone for his tormented psyche as he grapples with guilt and the longing for reunion. As the plot progresses, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery on an idyllic island, fostering a complex relationship with a child named Dick and a sailor named Kearney. The text hints at themes of spirituality and the nature of life and death, suggesting that Lestrange's connection with his lost children may transcend mortality itself.
