Bookseller recommendation
“If you are a fan of Jane Austen or Charles Dickens, this book is a good choice. You get the pride and manners of Austen mixed with a little of the dust, grit, and loss of Dickens. The result is another great novel from the 19th century!”
— Julia • The Bookloft
Summary
When Margaret Hale moves with her father from the comfort of the south of England to the industrial north, she is at first repulsed by what she sees; and then when she discovers the conditions under which the workers are forced to live, she is outraged. But this throws her into direct conflict with the powerful young mill-owner, John Thornton. Using personal passions to explore deep social divisions, North and South is a great romance – and one of Elizabeth Gaskell’s finest works.
