About this audiobook
Dorothy Hare is the dutiful, overworked daughter of the Rector of Knype Hill. Her days are a ceaseless round of parish duties, dodging her father's creditors, and suppressing any thought of a life beyond the rigid walls of the rectory. Her only escape, however fleeting, is the stern and private practice of her faith.
But a single, scandalous encounter with the village's disreputable atheist, Mr. Warburton, shatters her world. Overnight, Dorothy becomes the victim of a vicious local gossip, and is plunged into a waking nightmare from which she cannot escape. She wakes up in London with no memory of the past week, her identity stripped away, and her few possessions gone.
Thus begins Dorothy's harrowing journey through the underbelly of 1930s England. From the brutal hop fields of Kent to a night sleeping rough with a cast of vagrants in Trafalgar Square, and finally to the soul-destroying drudgery of a fourth-rate private school, she is forced to confront a world of poverty and exploitation she never knew existed. When she is finally offered a chance to return to her old life, she faces a devastating truth: she has lost not only her memory, but her faith itself.
Drawing on Orwell's own experiences with poverty, A Clergyman's Daughter is a searing and unforgettable portrait of a woman's struggle for identity in a world designed to keep her down.
