The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of life in a fishing village, as well as its exploration of themes such as class conflict and the struggle for social mobility.Judith walked backward, facing him, and he turned with his horse and went after her. She stooped and gathered up a splinter of glass. The sun striking through the gaps in the hedge had flashed on these scraps of broken mirror and of white bone, or burnished brass buttons, and the horse had been frightened at them. As Judith stooped and took up now a buckle, then a button, and then some other shining trifle, she hardly for an instant withdrew her eyes from Coppinger; they had in them the same dauntless defiance as when she encountered him on the stairs of the rectory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
