An Impressionable Woman's Unexpected Opportunity of a Lifetime
By Paint Chips
Norma Sheridan grew up in a household where, while they never went without, they never really had a lot of extra money either. Raised by a woman she calls Aunt Kate, the actual relationship between them is vague. Kate's children, Wolf and Rose, are Norma's closest friends.
At age nineteen Norma is taken under Marianna Melrose's wing, now to be called Aunt Marianna. Her new family includes Marianna's daughters, Alice and Annie along with their families and a granddaughter, Leslie who is close in age to Norma.
Norma finds herself living in a world with servants, piles of new clothes, and a high society lifestyle she's only dreamed of. She has mixed feelings about her new life. Sometimes she's thrilled with the opportunity, other times she can objectively see some of the people around her as being snobbish. She feels inadequate and undeserving of her new status until her Aunt Alice's husband Chris accidentally lets it slip that Aunt Marianna is actually Norma's grandmother.
Norma spends a lot of time at Aunt Alice's home, and with Alice's husband, Chris. Alice had been injured years earlier and can't walk, so she rarely leaves the house. Chris, however has an extremely busy social life. An attraction grows between Chris and Norma, and she has to deal with the guilt she feels towards Alice.
Norma has the unusual opportunity to choose between two very different worlds of wealth and status or the one in which she grew up in. She also has to choose between two men who love her above everything. Throughout the story the mystery of her birth parents pulls her along to her destiny.
This is a beautifully written story filled with wonderfully drawn characters. It was originally published in 1921 and nicely portrays how the very wealthy and middle class people lived at that time. The Beloved Woman is part of Project Gutenberg and can be read at gutenberg.org, google books, or at openlibrary.org for free.

One of my all time favorites
By Michelle Close Mills
I read this book for the first time over forty years ago. Kathleen Norris was my mother's favorite author at the time, so I would sneak her books into my room when she wasn't reading them. The characters and surroundings are always beautifully described, their personalities well developed and her old fashioned yet passionate romantic story lines are top drawer. The Beloved Woman is one of her finer works. I was anxious to read it again and have enjoyed every minute since I received it. My other favorites written by this author are "The Sacrifice Years", "Barberry Bush", "Treehaven" and "Passion Flower.

To be busy--to be needed--to be loved
By upfront_reader
This book was similar to another Norris title I've read, "Maiden Voyage," in that it concerns a young girl falling in love with an older, married man. In both cases, the man falls in love with the girl too, or at least says he does, and the reader is left to evaluate how real that emotion is and how worthy of the girl's regard the man really is. Because in both cases, the author shows us the man through the girl's dazzled eyes, and then slowly reveals a more three-dimensional character as the story goes on. That's not to say that either was a bad man, just that the author is skilled at delving into her character's point of view and making the reader see things through that character's eyes. In "The Beloved Woman," the heroine not only falls in love with the man, but also with his life as a wealthy man of society. Circumstances drop the heroine into his world and the story follows her as she is drawn into his privileged world and has to figure out for herself if it is better than the humbler life she left behind. I didn't like this book quite as much as "Maiden Voyage" but overall it was a very good read.
