PRAISE FOR MARY BARTON “One of the 1000 books everyone must read . . . In this Manchester-set tale of love, murder and family secrets, contentious topics such as Chartism and prostitution are tackled unflinchingly.†The Guardian
CRANFORD “Ah, so delightful! I loved this . . . But it's so funny! And sad! And it's all about women! I laughed aloud a few times, and almost cried a few other times.†Inder
RUTH “Ruth is 16, recently orphaned and sent to work in harsh, oppressive conditions as a seamstress. She is extremely naive and exceptionally beautiful, and also very lonely, making her easy prey for the rich and self-serving 23-year-old Mr. Bellingham.†Vanessa
NORTH AND SOUTH “Elizabeth Gaskell's classic explores the simmering, restrained passion between two very different people who fall in love in spite of themselves.†BBC
SYLVIA'S LOVERS “I really enjoyed this book, tragic romance, Napoleonic wars and all set in Whitby!†Mel
WIVES AND DAUGHTERS “If you love the George Eliot, Jane Austen, the Brontes, etc., you must read this book. It's very similar in style to those, but really finds a way to stand out for me because of a few reasons. First, Elizabeth Gaskell is simply very, very funny. She inserts comedy into this novel as often as every other emotion, and the jokes are truly timeless . . . Second, I felt that Gaskell's way of painting a portrait of life in a provincial English town in the 1830s very effective.†Emily
