This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
The career of Katherine Bush Elinor Glyn Books
This is one of my new favorite books - about a flawed heroine who pursues education to rise above her class, attempting to rise above her emotions, and ends up falling in love after all. The course of the book is so slow, deliberate and lifelike that you really feel as though you are living the story with the characters. Such drama and romance! it is like an early 20th century combination of Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice with a dash of Horatio Alger. I've never seen Downton Abbey but if you like that, I think you'll enjoy this book!Product details

The career of Katherine Bush Elinor Glyn Books Reviews
Katherine is by birth of the lower middle class but her views and expectations are definetely not in common with her sisters and brothers. Thus Katherine orders her life and actions with the determination to rise above the circumstances of her birth. But she cannot accomplish this alone she must enlist help from others in the aristocracy. How she does this is both serious and laughable but she is dead serious and methodical as she plows her way upward not realizing that the pathway to becoming a lady of quality is fraught with minefields. Fortunately she finds a true friend in her employer who secretly helps her to realize her dreams. Unbelievable but a good story nevertheless.
This is the first book I've ever read by Elinor Glyn a thoughtful, well written book of manners and society.
Elinor Glyn is a product of her time. Every one of her books has some racist, sexist or class-based snobbish remarks, usually a lot of them. The plot of this book is interesting (middle class girl clever enough to social climb with a dash of romance involved) but she has her characters go on for pages and pages about how great the aristocracy is, how they're so much more natural and unaffected than the middle class, how they enjoy hereditary advantages eugenically speaking etc. etc. It is especially weird coming out of the mouth of the middle class girl who obviously despises her roots. So, as with all Elinor Glyn, prepare to be slightly (or very) offended.
