Books by Elizabeth Gaskell

Wives and Daughters
Searching for something to read I came across this delightful, forgotten work. Gaskell has an observant eye and a nice touch in disguised humour in this tale of a misguided re-marriage and its consequences on the daughter of the small-town doctor and their society. I was shocked to discover Gaskell died before finishing it, but the ending is all lined up (happy, of course, after obligatory hiccoughs), so never mind. I call this a real discovery!
