Tilly Trotter är inte som alla andra flickor i byn. Både hennes skönhet, starka vilja och envishet sticker ut och detta möts av både beundran och avundsjuka från andra. Tilly saknar inte uppvaktning från män, men den enda man hon har ögonen för är bonden Simon Bentwood, men han är förlovad med en annan. Detta är inte heller den enda motgången i Tillys liv. Efter att ha blivit baktalad tvingas hon arbeta i den livsfarliga gruvan för att försörja sig. Tilly Trotter: kärlekens många ansikten är, förutom en berättelse om kärlek, även en träffsäker historisk skildring av den Viktorianska eran i England. -
