I found this aspect of Lily May’s nature to be at odds to her personality, as she was encouraging towards her children in every other way. Lily May is a strong woman who loves Bertie deeply, but does not believe that Bertie sees auras and refuses to encourage her daughter’s artistic nature. Bertie eventually recovers use of her leg, although she needs to wear a brace and a built-up shoe. Eventually Bertie’s mother, Lily May, gets fed up with Bertie’s lack of improvement and brings her home, where she dedicates herself to Bertie’s recovery. The story begins with Bertie catching polio while living in Melbourne in the 1950’s. She loses the use of one of her legs and remains in hospital for a very long time. She is a likeable and unusual heroine, who lives for art and is able to see people’s auras as a colour.* The Beloved is told by a child, Bertie Lightfoot.

He received a medical school education, obtained hormones - relatively new substances that were poorly understood at the time, and independently began living as a man in the early 1940s.Įventually, he found a plastic surgeon to help him, and his physical changes were complete by 1949, but his family rejected him. Before the word "transsexual" had been coined in English, an intrepid young person whose family belonged to the British nobility set out to transform herself from female to male.
