The novel shows the less pleasant sides of village life, though, thankfully, it's free from gratuitous violence. There are some sympathetic characters, but rather complex plots.
Kate, an adopted foundling from Ireland, dominates the second half of the book. She eventually finds happiness after a lot of tragedy and confusion.
It was an interesting read, on the whole. But not one I'm likely to read a second time.
