Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. The Bride Comes to Evensford, a novella first published in 1943, follows a woman from her arrival in a small town (modelled on Bates's native Rushden) to her work for a draper, her marriage to him, her increasing command over the business and the household, and finally to her infatuation with a young man as a widow in her fifties.
