本书是英国小说家乔治·艾略特的一部长篇小说英文版,适合英语爱好者阅读。作品一年内再版8次,受欢迎程度可见一斑。这是根据作者的姑母给她讲的一个真实故事写的。木匠亚当·贝德是本书的主人公,他爱上了美丽的农家姑娘海蒂。海蒂虽然容颜娇美,但个性虚荣,而且由于太年轻,对世事总存有不适当的想象,痴情于庄园主的孙子——年轻的上尉亚瑟。书中迪娜·莫里丝的原型就是给作者讲述这个故事的姑母伊丽莎白·伊文思,而亚当·比德的原型就是作者的父亲罗伯特·伊文思。其中人物的性格描写都很出色,对乡村的刻画也很动人,被人称为"弥漫着母牛的气息和草地的清香"。艾略特在她的早期小说中突出和解、宽恕与利他主义的道德原则,把普通村民的日常生活理想化,用村民们丰富的生活内容来表现乡村生活的充实、和谐和美好,以追求理想的人与人之间的关系。
