Recalled to Life

Name: Recalled to Life
Author: Grant Allen

The narrative follows a young woman who, after a traumatic event that erases her early life, lives years with only a single vivid, recurring image; treated as a psychological curiosity, she gradually regains self-possession and resolves to discover who murdered her father. Photographs, visions, and chance recognitions spur an investigation that carries her from her aunt's care to Woodbury and abroad, drawing in an inspector, doctors, and various acquaintances. Suspicion, evidence, and a stranger from the sea disentangle a conspiracy until her memory returns, a climactic shooting reveals the true killer, and the tangled mystery reaches a reconciliatory ending.
