The Priest's Daughter
Many are used to perceiving Orwell only through the lens of dystopian genre, but the novel «The Priest's Daughter» will introduce you to another Orwell — a master of psychological realism. England, the era of the Great Depression.
Dorothy — the...
daughter of Reverend Charles Hayer, the rector of St. Athelstan's Church in Suffolk.
She is a skilled housekeeper, does good deeds, strives to cultivate only good thoughts, and when bad ones arise, she pricks her hand with a pin.
Even when she is diligently sewing costumes for the school play, thoughts of the poverty surrounding her and the debts she cannot afford to pay chase her.
And suddenly she finds herself in London.
She is wearing silk stockings, has money in her pocket, and cannot remember her name... This is a novel about a girl who lost her memory due to an accident, as she reconsiders questions of faith and identity in a world of unemployment and hunger.
