Gaskell's ninth publication masterfully captures the lives of people drawn together by mere life circumstances. Through the story of Margaret Hale, a southerner who moves to the northern industrial town of Milton, Gaskell skilfully explores issues of class and gender, as Margaret's sympathy for the town mill workers conflicts with her growing attraction to the mill owner, John Thornton. This novel examines the nature of social authority and obedience and provides an insightful description of the role of middle class women in nineteenth century society.
