"The Manxman" by Sir Hall Caine is a novel published in 1894. Set on the Isle of Man, it tells the story of a romantic triangle between Kate Cregeen and two cousins: the goodhearted but poor Peter Quilliam and the educated lawyer Philip Christian.

What follows is a tale of forbidden love, deception, and the mounting consequences of choices made in passion and desperation.
