The Green Ray by Jules Verne

A young, disenchanted woman determined to avoid a loveless marriage journeys to the remote coasts of Scotland to observe the elusive optical phenomenon known as the green ray; during a storm-delayed voyage and an enforced stay on a Hebridean island she forges ties with fellow travelers, endures misunderstandings and disappointments, and ultimately witnesses the fleeting green flash at sunset, an illuminating moment that brings emotional clarity and a surprising romantic resolution.
