The Cranford Chronicles by Elizabeth Gaskell

3.0

So you've read Jane Austen. Wouldn't you like to spend some more time, not with an Austen heroine, but with Miss Bates, the comically talkative, poverty-stricken spinster in Emma? Reading The Cranford Chronicles is a lot like that. Cranford is a small town, where somehow men never stick around for long and where the women are self-contained and have developed odd habits.
