Produced by Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images available at The Internet Archive) "The Shadow of Life" by Anne Douglas Sedgwick is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely around the early 1900s. The story begins with a poignant exploration of childhood and personal loss through the character Elspeth Gifford, a young girl who moves to Kirklands with her relatives after the deaths of her parents. The novel delves into themes of familial affection, the innocence of childhood, and the experiences that shape one's understanding of life, death, and connection. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Elspeth as she navigates her new life with her uncle and aunts in the Scottish countryside. At just five years old, she grapples with the feelings of abandonment and the melancholic mystery of death, evoking a sense of both soothing comfort in her uncle's kindness and the vibrant joys of childhood through her exploration of nature at Kirklands. As she grows, the introduction of new characters, such as her cousin Gavan, hints at the deepening of her emotional world. The opening chapters establish a lush and intricately detailed setting, while also suggesting upcoming complexities as Elspeth's relationships and perceptions evolve against the backdrop of loss and growing up.
