lindsaygail 's review for:
North and South
by Elizabeth Gaskell
I think I enjoyed it more the second time. It really is a lot like a grittier, more serious, Victorian P&P set in a Northern factory town. You have to wait a looong time for the romantic conclusion, but I found it worth it. I came to care very much about Margaret and Mr Thornton and how their characters developed.
Pro tip for the Penguin English Library edition: there’s a glossary for the dialect in the back. I didn’t find this until AFTER I’d spent the whole book puzzling out the dialect by context.
