When shadows die by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth
"When Shadows Die" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative continues from the previous work "Love’s Bitterest Cup," exploring themes of family, love, and the impending turmoil of the American Civil War. The story revolves around characters like the Earl of Enderby, his sister Mrs. Force, and young lovers Leonidas and Odalite as they navigate their intertwined fates while facing personal challenges and
broader societal shifts. The opening of the novel introduces the Earl of Enderby and his family, who arrive at Baden-Baden, Germany, for what they hope will be a rejuvenating visit. There is anticipation in the air as they reunite with the Force family, who have been traveling together. As characters express their emotions around parting and duty, the story foreshadows deeper separations and connections amidst the backdrop of war. Young Leonidas must prepare to return to military service, setting the stage for unfolding drama as letters from the front and uncertain futures loom over the families. The initial chapters lay the groundwork for both personal and political conflicts, interweaving individual stakes with the impending tumult of the Civil War.
