4.0 out of 5 stars Walk into my Parlour, January 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Walk into My Parlour (Hardcover)

While not your typical Norah Lofts book (not a historical setting) this book is classic Lofts. It has her usual psycological insight into her characters, which are very well-developed, not just "stock" characters. The entire book takes place in just a few weeks, but with deft storytelling that spans an array of events. The main character is Jim, who is a selfless, devoted family man, and his beautiful, self-centered wife, Stella. Stella's greedy, overbearing mother figures strongly in their lives (more than either one realizes). The story slowly builds steam by paying attention to character, detail, and pacing, and sets in motion a domino of events which results in a suprising ending.

Description from the book back cover:

Jim and Stella both came from Shore Street, but Jim's mother,
ambitious for her only son, had refused to allow him to mix
with the Bridie brood. Through his mother's efforts, and his
own, Jim graduated into the white-collar class. Then he met
Stella again - Stella grown-up, vain, selfish and incredibly
beautiful. When she accepted his proposal of marriage he
couldn't beleive his luck, and it was quite a while before
Jim realised that life with Stella wasn't quite the paradise
he had envisaged.
