Publisher's Synopsis
Thelma: A Society Novel, Vol.3 of 3 is an engaging and exciting society drama crafted by the famous British novelist, Marie Corelli. This is the third and final volume of the novel and in this haunting conclusion, the reader is treated to a thoughtful and satisfying end to one of literature's Great stories. One cannot help but be excited for the chance to read a great novel by a female novelist whose novels often sold more copies than the combined sales of her popular contemporaries (including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling, and H. G. Wells). And even though her work has drifted out of the spotlight for more modern readers, it still holds the same glamour and intrigue that entertained readers so long ago.
In high society, homes of the rich contain not just family but an extended network of servants whose lives intermingle in romantic, dramatic, and sometimes even in comedic ways. In this book, Corelli paints a vivid picture of life in a rich home and the interplay between the haves and have-nots, the masters and the servants. The main character, Thelma, has complicated relationships with both the rich men who enter her life, and with the servants who help her daily. As a single and available woman, she attracts the desire of a wide range of suitors, and throughout the novel she must decide whom she will love as men of every station in life vie for her affection. Thelma: A Society Novel, Vol.3 of 3 sees the conclusion of this gripping and dramatic novel by the prolific Marie Corelli. Through tragedy and hope, Thelma chooses her love, and accepts the consequences of that choice. A romantic fantasy from start to finish, but a fast paced love story that keeps you intrigued until the very end, this book would be entertaining and captivating for any reader.
