Summary "Undertow" by Kathleen Thompson Norris is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the lives of Albert Bradley and Anne Polk Barrett as they embark on their marital journey, intertwining themes of love, social expectations, and financial struggles. The story unfolds against a backdrop of contrasting backgrounds and familial pressures, exploring the complexities of their relationship in a rapidly changing society. At the start of "Undertow," readers are introduced to Nancy and Bert, the main characters, who are preparing to get married despite disapproval from their families due to financial constraints. Bert is portrayed as a young man working in real estate with a limited income, while Nancy grapples with her self-sufficiency as a working woman involved in charitable efforts. As they navigate their impending marriage, the contrast in their backgrounds becomes clear, as does their determination to build a life together. The opening chapters delve into their daily lives, aspirations, and the societal expectations they face, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their evolving relationship amid external pressures and internal doubts.
