Leaving her orphanage at sixteen, Sukey Bond finds employment as a servant in the remote New Easter Farm, deep within the Essex Marshes. There she falls in love with simple, gentle Eric, the son of the rector' s wife. But when their relationship is discovered, they are swiftly separated. So begins Sukey' s quest to be reunited, a quest that will take her through every layer of Victorian society. . .
The kind of novelist who inspires an intense sense of ownership in her fans . . . though entirely without sentimentality, her sympathies tended naturally to the marginal, the vulnerable, the exploited, the obscure -- Sarah Waters One of our most idiosyncratic, courageous and versatile writers -- Hermione Lee
