About This Book

A rural tale centers on a spirited young woman long regarded as an outsider whose unconventional behavior and rumored ties to folk practices provoke gossip and fear in her community. The narrative traces everyday village life, seasonal labors, families and festivals as neighbors negotiate suspicion, affection and obligations. Through a developing bond between her and a local youth, misunderstandings yield to empathy, reconciliation and a reconsideration of reputation and social prejudice. Pastoral description and attention to popular customs illuminate themes of love, class, folklore and the redemptive effects of compassion.
