Beschreibung
Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and previously published as The Beggar Maid, this wonderful collection of stories follows Rose’s life as she moves away from her impoverished roots and forges her own path in the world. Born in the back streets of a small Canadian town, Rose constantly battles her practical and shrewd stepmother, Flo, who intimidates her with stories of her own past and warnings about the dangerous world outside. Ambitious Rose wins a scholarship and leaves for Toronto, where she marries Patrick. She is his Beggar Maid, meek and voluptuous with shy white feet, while he is her knight, content to sit and adore her. The English-language collection reads like a novel.
