About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Anna of the Five Towns, by Arnold Bennett. The plot centres on Anna Tellwright, daughter of a wealthy but miserly and dictatorial father, living in the Potteries area of Staffordshire, England. Her activities are strictly controlled by the Methodist church. Having escaped her father by marrying the respectable and attractive Henry, she attempts in vain to help Willy, son of a drunken and bankrupt business associate of her father's.
