`I would place it among the classics of this century and the last'
Sally Bayley, author of Girl With Dove If you tell a story oft
enough So it become true As the nineteenth century draws towards a
close, Mary Ann Sate, an elderly maidservant, sets out to write her
truth. She writes of the Valleys that she loves, of the poisonous
rivalry between her employer's two sons and of a terrible choice
which tore her world apart. Her haunting and poignant story brings
to life a period of strife and rapid social change, and evokes the
struggles of those who lived in poverty and have been forgotten by
history. In this fictional found memoir, novelist Alice Jolly uses
the astonishing voice of Mary Ann to recreate history as seen from
a woman's perspective and to give joyful, poetic voice to the
silenced women of the past.
