Publisher's Synopsis

Miss Ludington's Sister is a novel written by Edward Bellamy. The story revolves around two sisters, one of whom is dead and the other is living. The protagonist, Mr. John Langston, is a young lawyer who is called upon to settle the estate of the deceased sister, Miss Ludington. While doing so, he encounters the living sister, Miss Ludington's Sister, who is a recluse and has not left her home in years. As Langston tries to unravel the mystery surrounding the sisters, he discovers that Miss Ludington's Sister has a supernatural power that allows her to communicate with the dead. This power leads to a series of events that challenge Langston's beliefs and ultimately change his life. The novel explores themes of death, grief, love, and the afterlife, and is considered a classic in American literature.Mrs. Legrand's body and lower limbs lay on the sofa, which was the only article of furniture, and Dr. Hull was in the act of lifting her head from the floor to which it had fallen. Her eyes were half open, and the black rings around them showed with ghastly plainness against the awful pallor which the rest of her face had taken on. One hand was clenched. The other was clutching her bodice, as if in the act of tearing it open. A little foam flecked the blue lips.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
