Gaskell writes so well and describes feelings behind the words so clearly. The topics of many of her novels were subjects that she was passionate about and wanted to really get others thinking about in order to bring about changes.
Hope I will love it. A series of unfortunate circumstances lead Ruth’s employer and guardian to wrongly believe that Ruth, innocent and pure, has been seduced by a local gentleman, Mr. Bellingham. Conditions apply.
Jemima is headstrong and already jealous that her suitor Mr Farquhar, her father's business partner, seems to admire Ruth over her.
For me the main interest of the story lay in the actions, ethics and emotions of those around her, and these are explored in detail. Elizabeth Gaskell has become one of my favourite 19th century authors. I admit I am not familiar with Gaskell’s work.

They are born innocent, but already condemned by society through no fault of their own. They focus only on her sin, and not on demonstrating Christ's forgiveness.
Seemed to be a cultural theme lolI was not aware of this one!
For those readers not familiar with the writing style this may seem over descriptive and long winded, however, this book takes the reader on a journey through life as it was. And enjoyed the piece in its historical context very muc
Think about one's own ancestors and realise this is how they lived.

North and South (Macmillan Collector's Library) Achetez neuf ou d'occasion Amazon.fr - Ruth - Gaskell, Elizabeth - Livres Passer au contenu principal However before Ruth has made a decision she hears that Mr Donne is very sick; she confides in the doctor the truth about who Mr Donne really is, and goes to him. I enjoyed North and South more. Ruth goes home and has to reveal to Leonard that he is in fact illegitimate; he is devastated and ashamed by the news.

Her novels offer a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of Victorian society, including the very poor, and are of interest to social historians as well as readers of literature.

The novel ends with Mr Bradshaw finding a weeping Leonard at his mother's grave, whom he leads home to Mr Benson, and reforming his friendship with Mr Benson realising that as a member of the society that ostracised Ruth, he is also responsible for her death. His son recovers and Mr Bradshaw starts to rethink his life. Ruth goes among the poor to work as a nurse to the sick and gains a good reputation there, making Leonard proud of his mother once more and restoring their relationship.
It felt as if Gaskell was undecided whether to show Mr. Bellingham as the man who seduced and cheated a young girl or make the readers see his nice side (I could not see any) as well.The ending greatly disappointed me and seemed as if Ruth was the one who had to pay the debts of sin throughout her life.
Oxford Classics are brilliant editions of any traditional text, and Elizabeth Gaskell is a marvellous satiric writer.
Mr Bradshaw also goes to his old friend Mr Benson and argues with him as he allowed the lie to be told and for Ruth to enter not only his but also Mr Bradshaw's house. What a great disappointment for me with being on holiday, ready to relax, and nothing to read!!!

Ruth, a young teenager who has been orphaned, has been placed in a seamstress's "sweat shop" in order to make a living. Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (née Stevenson; 29 September 1810 – 12 November 1865), often referred to as Mrs Gaskell, was an English novelist, biographer and short story writer. From local gossip Jemima discovers about Ruth's past, though she is still unaware that it was Mr Donne who is Leonard's father.
