Description

This final novel from Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865), the biographer of Charlotte Brontë and creator of the Cranford chronicles, is considered her masterpiece—a tender story of parents, children and stepchildren, mistakes, and secrets. Set in the gossiping society of Hollingford, it follows youthful Molly Gibson, the spirited and loyal daughter of the local doctor. Their home is turned upside down when the doctor decides to remarry, and while Molly struggles to adjust to her ambitious stepmother, she forms a close relationship with her worldly and glamorous new stepsister Cynthia. Their budding friendship is tested, however, as their social lives become entwined with Squire Hamley and his two sons. Notably left unresolved after Gaskell's sudden death, and the inspiration for the BBC series of the same name starring Justine Waddell and Keeley Hawes, Wives and Daughters offers an ironic critique of mid-Victorian society.
