Intimidated by her father, the rector of Knype Hill, Dorothy performs her
submissive roles of dutiful daughter and bullied housekeeper. Her thoughts are
taken up with the costumes she is making for the church school play, by the
hopelessness of preaching to the poor and by debts she cannot pay in 1930s
Depression England. Suddenly her routine shatters and Dorothy finds herself
down and out in London. She is wearing silk stockings, has money in her pocket
and cannot remember her name. Orwell leads us through a landscape of
unemployment, poverty and hunger, where Dorothy's faith is challenged by a
social reality that changes her life.
