NORTH AND SOUTH - ELIZABETH GASKELL GEBUNDEN

Designed to appeal to the book lover  the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of
beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth
printed on high quality paper  and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges  Macmillan
Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.   North and South is a wonderful blend of
social comment on the dramatic changes in society brought about by the industrial revolution
and a compelling love story. Written from the author's first-hand experience  the novel follows
the story of Margaret Hope  the young heroine  in her move from the tranquil setting in rural
southern England to the raw and turbulent northern town of Milton. Margaret takes an instant
dislike to her new home and its people. She hates the dirt  noise and lack of civilisation. Her
distaste extends to handsome and charismatic cotton mill owner John Thornton whom she believes
epitomises everything unpleasant about the North. However  as Margaret gradually begins to
settle in Milton  she learns about the poverty and workplace struggles. As events conspire to
throw Margaret and Thornton together  the two spirited characters have to overcome their
repressed physical attraction for one another and conquer prejudices of class and circumstance.
The passion and the history embedded in this narrative is as appealing and engrossing today as
when it was first published.
