Anna, a reserved and subtle woman of great integrity, lives with her overbearing and miserly father. Wooed for her money by the darkly handsome Henry Mynors, Anna courageously defies her father's wrathful indignation. But the complex passions aroused lead to tragedy and heartache. Set in the Potteries against a background of dour Wesleyan Methodism, Anna of the Five Towns is a brilliantly perceptive novel of provincial life in Victorian England.
