Rickard Sisters
£18.99
Thrown out of work when the cotton mill burns down, sisters Rachel and Hester Martin are forced to find new ways to survive. One agitates for reform, striving to free her community from the enslavement of the factory system; the other submits to the slavery of a patriarchal marriage. A hundred years after the first publication of Ethel Carnie Holdsworth’s lost classic, this sumptuous adaptation weaves her tale of romance and hope through the cobbled streets of industrial Lancashire.
