This melodramatic novel by Arnold Bennett is a powerful story of love, tyranny, and rebellion set against the vitality and harshness of life in late nineteenth century Staffordshire Potteries. Anna lives in one of the "Five Towns" near Liverpool, an area renowned for its pottery making and coal mining. Brought up in the repressive Methodist tradition by her miserly father Ephraim Tellwright, Anna yearns for freedom and independence.
When she turns 21, her mother's passing leaves her with a great inheritance. While receiving constant attention from Henry Mynors, a young promising businessman who wants to marry her, she can't help thinking of poor and humble Willie Prince, one of her tenants who is in deep debt.
