the old nurse’s story was a wonderful, creepy story about family relationships and the theme of age, but make it gothic and victorian. i really enjoyed reading it, however, the second short story, curious, if true, was honestly exquisite. it’s a tale of a typical man stumbling into a fairytale world and the atmosphere and descriptions were beautifully written. it was the og ‘and then i woke up and it was all a dream’ story and i ate it up.
after getting a glimpse into her work, i’m really excited to read a longer novel by elizabeth gaskell because i really like her work and writing so far!!

More like a 2.5 but oh well
dark mysterious

La primera historia está mucho mejor que la segunda, pues está más desarrollada. Creo que más adelante leeré alguna de las novelas de Gaskell.
