A proposito di questo titolo

In the opening scene, Esther Waters stands on the platform, watching as the train fades into the distance, shrouded in a misty evening haze. This poignant moment sets the stage for the story of a young, devout woman from a struggling working-class background. As a kitchen maid, she finds herself seduced by a fellow employee and faces the harsh reality of an unplanned pregnancy when he abandons her. Defying societal expectations, Esther decides to raise her child alone, navigating the challenges of being a fallen woman in Victorian society. Moore’s novel not only highlights Esthers resilience but also serves as a powerful commentary on womens struggles during this era, solidifying its place as his most celebrated work. (Summary from Wikipedia, revised by Stav Nisser.)
