Description

Dive into the world of Frances Hodgson Burnett, who was born in the heart of Manchester and emigrated to the United States at just 16. In her early novels, crafted in Knoxville and published in New York, she drew inspiration from the vibrant life and authentic speech of the Lancashire working class. That Lass o Lowries unfolds in a gritty Lancashire mining town, telling a poignant and at times harrowing love story that explores the complexities of class divides—a striking departure from her later, more whimsical works. - Summary by Phil Benson
