| Summary | "The Flight of the Shadow" by George MacDonald is a novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds through the perspective of a young girl named Orbie, who is raised by her uncle and significant figures like Miss Martha Moon. The story delves into themes of identity, love, and the complexities of emotional secrets as the characters navigate personal challenges and societal norms. At the start of the book, Mrs. Day introduces herself as an elderly woman who seeks to recount a tale steeped in deep personal memory and reflection. She hints at a tumultuous inner life, filled with secrets and relationships that challenge her understanding of family and self. The narrative quickly establishes connections with key figures, including her uncle, who carries a heavy sadness, and Miss Martha Moon, who plays a significant nurturing role. Orbie expresses her love for the natural world and a strong desire for connection, setting the stage for the exploration of both her innocence and emerging complexity as she begins to grapple with the mysteries of life and the weight of unspoken emotions.
