1922. Kathleen Norris was a writer of romantic novels and short stories that had enormous appeal, particularly to women. One of her favorite themes involved virtuous women grappling with moral issues, for instance, affairs with married men. Her writings were labeled as sentimental and honest. Lucretia Lombard begins: In the long drawing-room of the stately home of Judge Samuel Curran and Bessy Emerson Curran, his wife, there reigned an utter, almost an uncanny silence. Yet there were six persons seated there, any one of whom, under ordinary circumstances, might have been considered equal to the demands of a more or less brilliant conversation.
