The narrative centers around Sister Gertrude, a beautiful and idealistic member of the Salvation Army, who passionately advocates for the impoverished and downtrodden." "At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a summer evening in the 1880s, bustling with activity in Huddersfield as market-goers engage in social interactions and commerce. Two young solicitors, Edward Beaumont and Sam Storth, come across a gathering around Sister Gertrude, who is speaking out against societal norms and urging her audience to lead more virtuous lives.
