Summary |
"The Shadow Girl" by Ray Cummings is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds around a mysterious girl from the future who appears in 1945 New York and is linked to a nefarious doctor, Dr. Turber. Central to the narrative are the characters Alan, his sister Nanette, and their friend Edward, who are drawn into a web of intrigue involving time travel and the unknown. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to Alan and Edward as they set up a television receiver and experience an inexplicable transmission depicting a tall tower and a captivating girl. This strange vision foreshadows deeper connections between time, place, and the characters' destinies. As the tale progresses, Alan and Edward learn about a girl found in Central Park with amnesia, and suspect she might be the same girl from the television vision. This sets up a thrilling adventure as they delve into the mysteries surrounding her presence, Dr. Turber, and the enigmatic world of time travel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
