Set in 19th century England, the novel follows Mary, a young woman from a working-class family, as she navigates the hardships of poverty while striving to support her loved ones through various jobs. Her resilience and hope stand in stark contrast to the indifference of the upper class. The story delves into themes of class struggle, gender roles, and social inequality, providing a poignant look at the lives of those often marginalized in Victorian society. This reprint preserves the cultural significance of Owen's original work.
