This love story blends class differences with industrial history and small town politics into an interesting story. The trial that dominates much of the book was based on a real-life trial on the death of a mill-girl, and this adds a great deal of authenticity to the story. Personally I could have done without the romance which I found superficial and would have preferred more about the struggle for justice and better working conditions that these young women were starting to be involved in.
