Kathleen Norris has in this novel
drawn a picture of life on a larger
canvas than usual-and larger than
any she has yet attempted. 1t takes
a panoramic view in order to ex-
press for us life's bigness and COM
plexity. The world is made up OF
so many things, society is so large
group of people, that to give a
true picture of our life today, one
must do it in the large.
The story is told in a spirit OF
honesty which does not neglect to
give significance to what is realistic
in detail. The large canvas Is not
sketchy but filled in and made COM
plete even in small nice touches.
We see many of the hard dull facts
of life and yet we feel that the
novel is true picture of life as il
was a generation ago. The story
is always within the range of prob
ability.
We see an average family Of dim
New England origin settle in Sar
francisco, aCalifornia, land grow in
prosperity and Importance, as the
city develops. Life moved quite
smoothly for them after the family
had developed a growing business
It was a time before votes fol
women had been heard. Even wo
mems economic independence was
not to be thot yof in the better
families. Only faint murmuring:
of dissatisfaction were beginning tt
be heard. Nearly every family Of
the middle class lived thru THU
period.
This is a more serious work thar
any that the author has yet attempt
ed. It is told without sentimental
ism and false heightening of emo
tional effects. It is novel 70,
