Nora Webster is an example of what Forster called a "character" novel. As such it isn't my favourite type of work. Still, it has moments of illumination which can be quite powerful. One such that stayed with me is the time Nora and her sons were watching Gaslight. This incident dramatised a bonding moment that was quite moving. And, as I stated earlier, the dialogue was astonishingly vivid.

I gave it three stars on Goodreads.
