About this book
The Beloved Woman, by Kathleen Norris, opens in Chapter I with a snow-storm that had been raging unabated over New York for forty-eight hours. The chapter says that on Saturday dirty snow was banked and heaped in great blocks everywhere, while the clean, new flakes still fluttered and twirled softly down.
A girl named Leslie takes out a small gold case and, saying it is her first to-day, lazily lights a sweet-scented cigarette. Grandmother, who says Ah, don't, lovey, had been regularly protesting against everything Leslie had done since her adored and despotic childhood. Norma, almost dizzied by the mere thought of being free to love Chris, looks at the prospective bride, in whose honour Aunt Annie entertained, only with a pang of wonder. Norma goes on, with heightened colour, to say that she does not want either Leslie or Aunt Annie ever to know.
