This is a love story based on the eternal triangle. Thelma a beautiful girl , unawakened to love, is seen and loved by a gentleman who takes her away from the land of her birth Norway.
She in turn is loved and worshipped by her father's man who sacrifices his life for her. Thelma is loved by her husband's friend who never ever lets on who the object of his passion is. After many turmoils Thelma dies leaving a daughter, Thelma. The sweetest ending with the daughter marrying the friend who loved her mother!
The story seems too simple to comprehend in today's world where you see a girl and you sleep with her! This is a gentle story filled with love, passions wakened and unwakened.Full of the dark thoughts that torment humans and thoughts we do not like to talk about.
All in all its highly readable.

Marie Corelli deserves most high praise in everything she ever wrote, but Thelma is her most tender, pure work of genius!

I wish that every girl will read it as early as possible to preserve her purity, honesty and innocence! And every boy will read it to know what to look for in a love relationship!

Nothing really matters in this life except LOVE! I believe our world can be a better place, if we will only chose it to be!

Known as the Jaqueline Suzann of her time, Corelli, a feminine and non-confrontational 'lipstick lesbian' was as deplored by critics of serious literature as was Ms. Suzann. Nonetheless, Thelma as with her other books were read with relish. This is a sweet and tender love story that I enjoyed thoroughly and can only imagine the quivering Victorian women who devoured its pages.
