Více o knize

Set in a quaint English town, the story follows Octavia Bassett, who arrives from Nevada with lavish belongings and a desire to help the less fortunate. Her arrival sparks a friendship with Lucia Gaston, the subdued granddaughter of the village's powerful matriarch, Lady Theobald. This dynamic explores themes of wealth, social status, and personal connections against the backdrop of Victorian society. The narrative reflects Frances Hodgson Burnett's knack for intertwining characters' lives with broader societal issues.
