Beskrivelse

Elizabeth Gaskells final novel, serialized in Cornhill Magazine from 1864 to 1866 and completed posthumously by her editor, offers a vivid portrayal of English life in the 1830s. The story follows Molly Gibson, the daughter of a widowed doctor, as she navigates her formative years in the provincial town of Hollingford. When Mr. Gibson remarries, Molly finds herself grappling with a pretentious stepmother while cherishing her deep bond with her new stepsister, Cynthia. Their relationships with the townspeople, especially the Squire of Hamley Hall and his family, lead to a rich tapestry of comedic, romantic, and tragic moments. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)
