I now love Gaskell! This is my second novel by her and she is a truly masterful storyteller. Wives and Daughters was a great novel but I LOVED North and South!!! Margaret and John are such delicious characters and I couldn’t stop reading until I finished! The ending at first left me thinking, what? That’s it? But after reflection I realize it was perfect. ❤️

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.
