Title: Walk into my Parlour
Product review: 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.
