Telling the Pictures by Frank Delaney
Belle, a mill-girl from a poor and religiously oppressive Presbyterian household, has fashioned an escape by discovering the cinema. Through it she tells her workmates the story of each film she sees. It is through this gift that she developes a relationship with Gene, a Catholic.
