In this often-overlooked novel by Lawrence, her journey is infused with a touch of humor and picaresque charm. After losing her perpetually ill mother and her ineffectual, cross-dressing father, Alvina fears she will be forever entwined with the eternal spinsters of her dreary mining community in Woodhouse.

Among them is Ciccio, a brooding horseman whose intense presence captivates Alvina, pushing her toward an uncertain future.
