Did I really read 500+ hundred pages for a 2 pages resolution ??? 

Nevertheless, John Thornton… the man that you are. Dignified and righteous. They could only make me love you. Gaskell was really not afraid to show us a desperate man yearning. I love how vulnerable she let her male characters be. Really beautiful to read.

L’ho trovato prolisso e noioso, più concentrato sulla denuncia della condizione della classe operaia nell’Inghilterra ottocentesca, che non sulla storia d’amore fra i due protagonisti, che in 500 pagine interagiscono fra di loro pochissime volte, per poi risolvere le loro incomprensioni nelle ultime 3 pagine. Avrei voluto così tanto appassionarmici, perchè di questa storia mi sono state dette solo bellissime parole, però purtroppo non ci sono riuscita. De gustibus non disputandum est.

این روزها روند و شکل این داستان به نحو غریبی برام جالب و پرکشش شده؛ در حالی که زمستون برخلاف این بود.
