Forced to move from the rural tranquillity of southern England to
the turbulent northern mill town of Milton, Margaret Hale takes an
instant dislike to the dirt and noise that seems to characterize
her new home and its inhabitants - even the handsome and
charismatic cotton mill owner, John Thornton. But as she begins to
settle in, and to understand the nature of the surrounding poverty
and injustice, events conspire to throw her and Thornton together.
Amidst the chaos of industrial unrest, they must learn to overcome
the prejudices of class and circumstance and admit their feelings
for one another. One of literature's greatest romances, North and
South by Elizabeth Gaskell is both an incisive social commentary
and an electric portrayal of all-conquering love. This Macmillan
Collector's Library edition of North and South features an
afterword by Kathryn White. Designed to appeal to the booklover,
the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift
editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's
Library are books to love and treasure.
