The Penguin English Library Edition of Wives and Daughters by
Elizabeth Gaskell "Eh, miss, but that be a rare young lady! She do
have such pretty coaxing ways ..." Seventeen-year-old Molly Gibson
worships her widowed father. But when he decides to remarry,
Molly's life is thrown off course by the arrival of her vain,
shallow and selfish stepmother. There is some solace in the shape
of her new stepsister Cynthia, who is beautiful, sophisticated and
irresistible to every man she meets. Soon the girls become close,
and Molly finds herself cajoled into becoming a go-between in
Cynthia's love affairs. But in doing so, Molly risks ruining her
reputation in the gossiping village of Hollingford - and
jeopardizing everything with the man she is secretly in love with.
The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in
English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to
the beginning of the First World War.
