Welp, finally finished Wives and Daughters. I will be forever upset that Elizabeth Gaskell died before she could write the last chapter. Sure the note at the end sums up what would have happened but it's not the same in the slightest. It is one of the best classics I've read though and I don't regret finally giving her writing a try. I mean, this book made me laugh, yell, and even cry. I just....damn, I really wanted to see Molly get the happy ending she so deserved.
