Summary: "The Shadows of a Great City: A Romantic Story" by Grace Miller White is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is likely set against the backdrop of a wealthy New York society, centering on themes of childhood innocence and familial bonds. The story introduces Annie Benson, her cousin George, and Tom Cooper, who have grown up together as children of privilege, but hints at darker themes of jealousy, deception, and secrets that may threaten their relationships and happiness. The opening of the story paints a vivid scene of youth and playfulness, with children frolicking near a stone mansion. Annie and her cousin Tom share a close bond, while George’s jealousy and mean-spiritedness foreshadow conflict. The dynamic shifts as Tom reveals George’s wrongdoing—stealing money from Annie's father’s safe—setting the stage for the complex interplay of affection, betrayal, and the yearning for reconciliation that will unfold in the story. As the children navigate their relationships, the weight of familial expectations and hidden truths begins to loom, suggesting that the innocence of their childhood is only a prelude to more profound struggles ahead.
