| Summary | "The Beloved Woman" by Kathleen Thompson Norris is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of New York City, primarily in the context of family dynamics. The main character, Mrs. Melrose, is a prominent and wealthy woman who is navigating the complexities of her family relationships, particularly concerning her sick daughter, Alice, and the strained ties with her son Theodore's legacy. The narrative focuses on themes of love, duty, social status, and the ties that bind families together, reflecting on the nature of familial obligations and personal aspirations. At the start of the book, New York City is experiencing a heavy snowstorm, which similarly isolates and traps characters within their social circles and homes. Mrs. Melrose emerges from her confinement to visit her daughter Alice, who has been bedridden for years due to an unfortunate accident. The scenery of the bustling city contrasts with the fragility of Alice's health and the tensions within the Melrose family, as they grapple with their past and present. As Mrs. Melrose interacts with her family and reflects on their burdens, hints of deeper stories and emotional conflicts begin to unfold, setting the stage for a rich exploration of love and loyalty within a changing social landscape.
