As for the main character, Mary, I picture her as 30ish (middle aged) Old Maid who sits at the perfect age for freedom of movement, but not too old to do so. As a result, she hold onto her English ideas, but slowly changes them to understand the world around her. Its more of a slice of life type story, as Mary learns about her surroundings, and the people around her.
