North and South (Penguin Popular Classics) North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
I've not read anything by this author before, but I will now as I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Unlike some of the classics, I found it an easy read, I didn't have a problem with the language (like I did with George Eliot's 'Mill on the Floss). I look foreward to reading more by Elizabeth Gaskell.

If you haven't already seen it, look out for the BBC's adaptation of North and South. Probably the best costume drama they've done - even better than P&P. Every character turns in a stunning performance, even the most minor ones.

Watch all 4 hours in one go with chocolate, wine and tissues on the side. Magic.
