Forthright and strong-willed -- yet winsome and unquestionably in love, young Ethylwyn gives up country life with her beloved vicar father to marry the painter Percivale. Poor, and still to be recognized, Percivale can promise only the most modest of married lives -- but they will be in London, where she is to see herself through to a new life -- with friends, and a growing, healthy family.

The book is a series of anecdotes, involving both Wynnie and her family and also her increasing circle of friends. We learn a great deal about the impoverished of society of the time, through the eyes of a music teacher who has chosen to live amidst poverty in order to help others rise above their roots.
It's a rambling account, ideal for reading a chapter or two at night, since most are complete in themselves. There's no overall plot, and not a great deal happens. There's a clear Christian worldview, whch comes out in various discussions, but I don't think it was overdone; in places, the book was quite thought-provoking.
The edition I read was free for my Kindle. Recommmended, in a low-key kind of way, to anyone wanting something fairly easy, with more depth than some modern novels. Three and a half stars, really. ( )
