E-text prepared by Malcolm Farmer "Miss Ludington's Sister" by Edward Bellamy is a novel written in the late 19th century. It revolves around Miss Ida Ludington, a once-vibrant young woman whose life takes a tragic turn following a severe illness that robs her of her beauty and joy. As she struggles with the loss of her youthful happiness, the narrative explores themes of memory, loss, and the longing to reclaim a lost past that holds significant emotional weight. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Miss Ludington, who reflects on her past life filled with happiness and social prominence in her village. After a debilitating disease leaves her disfigured and alienated, she immerses herself in nostalgia, holding onto memories of her girlhood. This opening segment establishes her sorrowful existence and vividly portrays her desperate desire to preserve her memories, especially those that remind her of the life she once led. The narrative hints at her eventual inheritance of a fortune, which will enable her to recreate an idealized version of her past, revealing both her obsession with what she has lost and the emotional consequences of such a fixation.
