North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell

Gaskell's epic novel tells the story of Margaret Hale's move to a rapidly industrialising English town where she witnesses the struggle between mill owners and workers and observes first hand the dangers of pursuing wealth at any cost. North and South was her fourth novel after the success of Wives and Daughters, Cranford, and Mary Barton. All her novels are just as gripping today as they were when first published well over a century ago and they continue to enjoy enormous popularity. This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is beautifully illustrated with a number of atmospheric historical paintings that reflect the mood of the novel.
