Mary and her three sisters rise every day to backbreaking farm work that threatens to suppress their own awakening desires, whether its Violets pull toward womanhood or Beatrices affinity for the Scriptures. But its their father, whose anger is unleashed at the slightest provocation, who stands to deliver the most harm. Only Mary, fierce of tongue and a spitfire since birth, dares to stand up to him. When he sends her to work for the local vicar and his invalid wife in their house on the hill, he deals her the only blow she may not survive. Within walking distance of her own family farm, the vicarage is a world away–a curious, unsettling place unlike any she has known. Teeming with the sexuality of the vicars young son and the manipulations of another servant, it is also a place of books and learning–a source of endless joy. Yet as young Mary soon discovers, such precious knowledge comes with a devastating price as it is made gradually clear once she begins the task of telling her own story. Reminis
