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."[1]

The Los Angels Times called it "a satisfying exercise in depth and style."[2]
