About this book
Two women live in a Yorkshire mill town during the early nineteenth century. One keeps house for her clergyman uncle. The other arrives to manage an inherited estate. They meet amid disputes between mill owners and workers over new machinery and lost jobs. The Napoleonic Wars add to the strain on trade and food supplies. Daily routines, family obligations, and personal decisions unfold against these pressures. The narrative follows their conversations and choices without resolving the larger conflicts.
