Recalled To Life is a novel written by Allen Grant. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young man named John Vansittart, who has been living in exile in Australia for many years. He is recalled to England by his family, who have inherited a large estate and want him to take over as the head of the family.As John returns to England, he finds himself caught up in a web of family secrets and intrigue. He discovers that his father, who he thought was dead, is actually alive and living in a nearby village. He also learns that his mother has been keeping a dark secret from him for many years.As John tries to unravel the mystery of his family's past, he finds himself falling in love with a young woman named Ethel. But their relationship is complicated by the fact that Ethel is engaged to another man.Recalled To Life is a gripping tale of family secrets, love, and betrayal. It is a classic novel that explores the themes of identity, loyalty, and the power of the past to shape the present.As I entered the house the weird sense of familiarity that pursued me throughout rose to a very high pitch. I couldn't fairly say, indeed, that I remembered the different rooms. All I could say with certainty was that I had seen them before. To this there were three exceptions--the three that belonged to my Second State--the library, my bedroom, and the hall and staircase. The first was indelibly printed on my memory as a component part of the Picture, and I found my recollection of every object in the room almost startling in its correctness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
