How does the author use foreshadowing in The Beautiful Side of Evil?

Chapter One is an effectively shaped introduction to the author and her story, offering just enough information to draw the reader further in but not so much that the reader believes him/herself to have the full picture. In other words, there is a great deal of foreshadowing here, not only in terms of specific events or circumstances (such as, for example, the author's reference to being brought to a place of peace after "all the years of terror" - an ironic comment if ever there was one). There is also foreshadowing in the stormy, dark, oppressive atmosphere evoked in the author's writing, a sense of darkness that isn't fully dispelled by the glimpse of hope (which, as discussed, is completely ironic) offered at the chapter's conclusion.
