Synopsis
This moving story is recounted by Margaret, the daughter of a Yorkshire miner, who falls in love with a married teacher and goes to live with him in a room in Camden Town, London. Many critics have observed an almost lawrentian fidelity in the descriptions of their love-making and the intricacies of their emotional responses to one another. But in the end family ties prove too strong for an ambiguous relationship which begins to disclose a chasm of emptiness and bitterness.

gollark: Well, if we assume it's *possible* that God exists, and that God may represent himself as a random user on an esolangs discord server, then it is possible that I am God.
gollark: Fine, you can be God too.
gollark: Well, there's a nonzero probability that I'm God. And God is maximally perfect. And being maximally perfect involves existing, regardless of the probability of it. Therefore I exist and am also God.
