Wives and Daughters

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

September 2010 is the bicentenary of Gaskell’s birth. This tender story of parents, children and step-children, mistakes and secrets was Elizabeth Gaskell’s last novel and is considered her masterpiece.

Set in the watchful society of Hollingford, this is a warm tale of love and longing. Molly Gibson is the spirited, loyal daughter of the local doctor. Their peaceful close-knit home is turned upside down when Molly’s father decides to remarry. Whilst Molly struggles to adjust to her snobbish stepmother, she forms a close relationship with her glamorous new stepsister Cynthia. The strength of this friendship is soon tested as their lives become entwined with Squire Hamley and his two sons.
