Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Clorinda Walks in Heaven: Tales
It was fortunate that she was big and strong, though she had only been a charity girl taken from the workhouse by the Weet mans when she was fourteen years old. That was seven years ago. It was fortunate that she was fed well at the farm, very well indeed; it was the one virtue of the place. But her meals did not counterbalance things; that farm ate up the body and blood of people. And at times the pressure was charged with a special excitation, as ifa taut elastic thong had been plucked and released with a reverberating ping.
