Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Ireland and Yorkshire, the novel explores the challenges faced by Beth, a bright and determined young girl. Growing up in a tumultuous household with a violent mother and an alcoholic father, she navigates the harsh realities of poverty and gender inequality. Despite lacking formal education, Beth defies societal norms by dressing as a boy and taking on responsibilities typically reserved for men, highlighting her resilience and desire for independence. This semi-autobiographical work paints a vivid picture of a young woman's quest for identity and purpose.
