Set in the Potteries, the region in which Bennett spent much of his youth, this is the story of a miser's daughter who inherits a fortune. She stands out as a spirited, complex modern woman in a stifling and repressive society. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Frank Swinnerton.
