| Summary | "Simeon Tetlow's Shadow" by Jennette Lee is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intricate dynamics of a railroad president, Simeon Tetlow, and his dedicated assistant, John Bennett, as they navigate their personal and professional challenges within a rapidly changing industrial landscape. The narrative centers around their relationship and the toll that ambition, duty, and personal sacrifice take on their lives. The opening of the book establishes a tense work environment in Tetlow's modest office high above the bustling streets, where the aging president is portrayed as an irritable yet brilliant figure, consumed by his responsibilities to the railroad. John, the young assistant, exhibits a quieter strength, dedicated to supporting Tetlow while dealing with personal matters concerning his ailing mother. As John contemplates resigning to care for her, their professional relationship is tested, revealing themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the quest for fulfillment amidst the harsh realities of their work life. The dynamic between the two characters foreshadows deeper explorations of their inner conflicts and the choices they must make as they confront the pressures of their respective lives.
