Description
When Margaret Hale is uprooted from the quiet gentility of southern England and thrust into the industrial tumult of Milton, a northern mill town, her world fractures. Confronted with striking workers, choking factories, and a proud, implacable mill owner named John Thornton, Margaret must reckon with her deepest convictions about justice, class, power, and love.
First published in 1854, North and South is Elizabeth Gaskell's boldest and most ambitious novel: a work of fierce social commentary and subtle emotional power. Gaskell draws the battle lines not only between labour and capital, north and south, but between head and heart. And at the centre stands Margaret—a heroine of intelligence, dignity, and defiance.

About the Author
Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865) was a British novelist, biographer, and social reformer whose work bridges the worlds of Victorian domestic fiction and industrial realism. Best known for novels such as Mary Barton, Cranford, and North and South, she brought a rare moral clarity and emotional intelligence to stories of class conflict, gender roles, and social change. A friend to both Charles Dickens and Charlotte Brontë, Gaskell remains one of the most perceptive chroniclers of 19th-century England.
