I wasn't expecting much from this as it sounded relatively slow. However the details in Jane's writing made it feel like you're there with the characters. Phillis is a character you instantly feel attached to & the ending will leave you with so many emotions

Gaskell’s prose is superb - per usual - but the plot is a bit…lacking at the end. I find her longer works much better. However, Cousin Phillis is a pleasant, quick read, which I would recommend to fellow lovers of Gaskell’s writing.
