Signs of Life (Elliott novel)

Signs of Life is a 1981 novel by Sumner Locke Elliott.

Elliott said, "It’s a quieter book than I’ve done for some time and it doesn’t depend on tricks; it depends totally on character and here again is a woman who simply cannot find herself until ironically at the very end, through her daughter whom she has waged battles with."

The Los Angeles Times called it "a satisfying exercise in depth and style."
