Who Do You Think You Are?
Rose grows up over a shop in West Hanratty with a father who beats her at her stepmother Flo's prompting, wins a scholarship out, and at university is courted by a department-store heir who tells her she looks like the beggar maid in the Burne-Jones painting. Ten linked pieces follow her through the marriage, an acting career and returns to the town that puts the title's question to anyone who rises. Issued in America as The Beggar Maid.
