| Summary | "Ships that Pass in the Night" by Beatrice Harraden is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the intricate interactions of its characters, particularly focusing on Bernardine Holme, a young woman who arrives at the Petershof Kurhaus for her health. The narrative captures her encounters with various guests at the resort, including the enigmatic "Disagreeable Man," Robert Allitsen, and others navigating their own struggles with illness and existential reflections. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the contrasting personalities at the dining table of Petershof Kurhaus, where a new-comer, Bernardine, finds herself lost in thought amid the conversations. The Disagreeable Man's sharp remarks about life's disappointments catch her attention, and their exchanges hint at a deeper connection. As classic themes of health, ambition, and the search for purpose emerge, Bernardine reflects on her past, her lost ambitions in teaching and writing, and her current state of illness. The interactions set the tone for a character-driven exploration of hope, resilience, and the weight of unfulfilled dreams, presenting Bernardine's journey as one of self-discovery within the confines of a society marked by suffering.
