"Ce roman d'apprentissage raconte l'histoire de Gertrude Flint, une orpheline abandonnée et maltraitée. À l'âge de huit ans, Trueman Flint, un allumeur de réverbères la sauve de son ignoble tuteur, Nan Grant. Gertrude est élevée avec amour et lui sont enseignées vertus et foi. Elle devient moralisatrice. Adulte, son mariage avec un ami d'enfance la récompense de ses souffrances passées."
"Gertrude began life as an abused child in the care of Nan Grant, a cold and cruel woman. The only human character who was kind to her was the lamplighter, Truman Flint. When Nan, in one of her tantrums, threw Gertrude away from her house, he took her into his care. A few unforgettable people taught Gertrude everything that a young lady has to know. Almost everybody loves and admires Gertrude. But the one she loved best is Willie Sullivan. Will this love stay strong even after 6 years of separation? And will Gertrude, so admired and loved as she is, be happy - once in her life - for herself and not for others? (Summary by Stav Nisser)"
