This is a love-story with a twist in it, such as Bennett knows so wellhow to handle. The twist consists in the coming to Anna of unexpectedwealth. She is the daughter of a miser and has been brought up underthe most rigorous parsimony. She has a simple lover, in every waysuited to her narrow circumstances. Then she comes of age and discoversthat she is not only well off, but wealthy. What will she do with hermoney? Will her altered status interfere with her love affair? Willher father's blood tell? In a vein of quiet humor, rich in whimsicalcharacter-sketching, Arnold Bennett works these problems out.
Anna is another of the inhabitants of the Five Towns. The little groupof friends who gather about her make us familiar with another level ofFive Towns' society.
