Scattered Leaves is a novel written by James Augustus Page and published in 1839. The book tells the story of a young woman named Ellen who is forced to leave her home and family in Virginia to move to New Orleans. There, she becomes a governess for a wealthy family and falls in love with the family's son, Charles. However, their love is forbidden due to their different social statuses. As Ellen tries to navigate her new life in New Orleans, she is haunted by the memories of her past and the people she left behind. She also struggles with the societal norms and expectations of the time, including the institution of slavery. Throughout the novel, Page explores themes of love, loss, and the human condition. He also provides a vivid portrayal of life in the antebellum South, including the complexities of race relations and the impact of slavery on both the enslaved and the slave owners. Scattered Leaves is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into a bygone era and the struggles of those who lived during it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
