How to tag this. Know this though: if you expect a romance... well, there is romance, but it's not really the meat of the story. More like a sprinkled seasoning to give the excuse, and a happy ending I guess. What this is about is industrialization, the theme for most characters was the failure ...
Quite a while ago I read the synopsis and purchased North and South from Audible. I haven’t been a great lover of fiction set in this era in the past (1800’s) and have always preferred reading to listening, so kept putting it off. I wish I hadn’t, though, because this was probably the finest reading...
Book: North and South Author: Elizabeth Gaskell Genre: Fiction/Social Commentary/Coming-Of-Age/Romance Summary: When her father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the north of England. Initial...
I have been curious about reading Gaskell for a while, and my first novel of hers turned out to be this one that mixes romance with social issues relevant to its time in the mid-19th century.

By way of background, John Thornton is the master of Marlborough Mills, a cotton mill. But, it is important that John Thornton did not inherit wealth, nor was he, n...
Un romanzo davvero stupendo. Ho amato ogni singolo dialogo tra Margaret e Mr. Thorton. Straordinaria descrizione di quella che era la situazione precaria della classe operaia, delle fatiche, delle morti dovute a tecniche letali, dei sorrisi e delle speranze celate dietro il volto morente di una giov...
I need to see this mini-series. However, I found out about this series because it kept getting recommended to me by audible since I had been listening to a bunch of Jane Austen books. This version, which was narrated by Charlton Griffin, came up for sale I decided to try it. Griffin and the audiob...
Sé muy bien lo que dicen de que no debe juzgarse un libro por su película (o en este caso miniserie), pero comparativamente la miniserie de la BBC es mejor, mucho mejor. Lo que hace que este libro sea simplemente: ok.Y es que todo lo que me había gustado de los personajes cuando vi la adaptación, me...
