En la Inglaterra rural de 1831, Mary, una joven de quince años, lleva una vida de pobreza en la campiña de Dorset. Sencilla y directa, pero lúcida y obstinada, narra cómo su vida da un vuelco cuando es enviada a la casa del pastor Graham para servir y acompañar a su esposa, una mujer frágil y dulce. Con ella, aprende la bondad. Con él, descubre las riquezas de la lectura y la escritura, pero también la obediencia, el envilecimiento y la humillación. Un aprendizaje que le servirá para plasmar por escrito el trágico relato de su destino y su implacable confesión. Nell Leyshon realiza un trabajo de orfebrería con este inolvidable retrato, donde vibra la voz lúcida y magnífica de su heroína.
