| Summary |
"Blotted Out" by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the story of James Ross, a young man who has just returned to New York seeking freedom and a fresh start. However, his plans are complicated by a mysterious note from a woman named Amy Ross Solway, claiming to be his cousin and caught in a web of intrigue and danger. At the start of the novel, James Ross enjoys a sense of isolation and liberty as he travels back to New York, reflecting on his escape from a stifling life in Manila. He soon receives an unexpected and urgent letter from Amy, imploring him for help regarding an unspecified "terrible trouble." As he embarks on a journey to uncover her troubles, he also grapples with images of his past connections and the complexities of personal relationships, particularly with Phyllis Barron, a woman he feels an undeniable connection to yet wishes to keep at arm's length. The opening sets a tone of suspense and foreshadows the intertwining fates of James and Amy as they navigate secrets and potential dangers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
