In the shadow of the moors, young Maggie Browne lives a quiet life with her domineering mother and adored brother Edward. Gentle, thoughtful, and self-sacrificing, Maggie is raised to revere Edward and submit to duty above all else. But when temptation and tragedy enter their lives, Maggie must choose between the expectations that bind her and the moral courage that could set her free.

First published in 1850, The Moorland Cottage is a touching tale of virtue tested by adversity. With its vivid rural setting and deep emotional insight, Gaskell's novella explores themes of conscience, family loyalty, and the strength of a woman's inner life.
