The answer is Glass Plates.
Here is a sentence: As she was leaving, I was watching her from my car, heavy-hearted, recalling with melancholy the days we had spent together. The context clue of restatement or synonym here is heavy-hearted. Even if the reader doesn't know the meaning of the word melancholy, they will get a hint to its meaning from this restatement.
This is probably a "novel," as a novel is a book meant to be read purely for enjoyment. Have a nice day! :)
