Fülszöveg



The story of two sisters striving for fulfilment in the Pottery towns of the nineteenth century.
Sophia Baines is charming, wilful and fiery. Her sister Constance is foolishly good-natured, conventional and far easier to manipulate.
Their lives diverge when Sophia rebels against her narrow upbringing in the Five Towns and elopes to France with a young salesman. Constance, more in line
with the wishes of her family, marries her father's assistant in the draper's shop and together they take over the family business.
