skita 's review for:
Wives and Daughters
by Elizabeth Gaskell
Brilliant insight and descriptions of the nuances of human nature, personalities, thoughts, perceptions, and reactions.
Only rating as a 4 star because I hadn’t known that Gaskell had died before finishing the book, and as I had seen the movie years ago, I was in shock when there was true ending to the book! Left me with a very unsatisfied feeling and now must watch the movie this coming week to alleviate this!
Also, 4 star because of my person struggle at sometimes following what was going on at times in the story due to a lack of my understanding of culture or the vocabulary used at the time.
So, really I’m the four star, or at least my experience of the book was, however this book is a five star.
