The Beautiful Soul is a novel written by Florence Marryat and published in 1895. The story centers around a young woman named Margaret Capel, who is raised in a strict and religious household in rural England. Margaret is deeply spiritual and has a strong desire to do good in the world, but she is also naive and sheltered.When Margaret's father dies, she is forced to leave her home and move to London to live with her aunt and uncle. There, she meets a group of artists and intellectuals who introduce her to a world of new ideas and experiences. Margaret is drawn to the bohemian lifestyle of her new friends, but she also struggles with the conflict between her spiritual beliefs and the worldly pleasures she is exposed to.As Margaret navigates this new world, she also finds herself caught up in a love triangle between two men: the charming and handsome artist, Cecil Burleigh, and the earnest and devoted clergyman, Mr. Bax.
