A complex novel set in Victorian England By Z Hayes I am a great admirer of Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives and Daughters (Vintage Classics) and Cranford and have come to love "North and South" which I came across by way of the excellent BBC period drama North & South starring Richard Armitage as cotton mill owner James Thornton, and Daniela Denby-Ashe as the independent-minded and strong-willed Margaret Hale. This BBC adaptation is quite faithful to the novel and I would strongly urge those who love the novel to watch this stellar adaptation.I have yet to read Gaskell's first industrial novel, Mary Barton, and it is on my TBR list, but "North and South" which is her second industrial novel is compelling, focusing on the relationships between the working class and the wealthy industrialists in a balanced manner in that the book provides viewpoints from both sides, although the emphasis here is not only on the fractured employer-employee relations but also on the relationship between ex-clergyman's daughter Margaret Hale, and defiant and proud cotton mill owner James Thornton. Margaret, who is forced to leave her idyllic small town in Southern England and move to the unforgiving North, settles in the industrial town of Milton.Margaret is sympathetic to the cotton mill workers, taking pity on their poor working and living conditions, and the abysmal way they are treated by their employers. She is quick to judge Thornton, whom she despises for being arrogant, proud, and a harsh taskmaster. The clash between these strong-willed and equally obstinate individuals are reminiscent of the difference of opinions between two other beloved characters in English literature, i.e. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. The circumstances of these two relationships though are quite different, and the portrayal of the tension-riddled relationship between Margaret and James is much grittier, with little to none comic relief.Despite the gritty backdrop of workers and union strikes, the romance between Thornton and Hale is captivating and I enjoyed all aspects of this novel. Romance aside, I found myself engaged by the descriptions of the workers and their plight, and their struggle for more rights. Love, class, and gender issues are all credibly explored here, and Gaskell's fluid and evocative style of writing make this a compelling novel, one of the best I have read of this period.

Just as good, if not better than the miniseries. In fact, I didn't even KNOW this was a book until doing a little research. When I found out that the miniseries was based on this book, I snapped it up immediately. As others have mentioned, the beginning is a bit slow and tedious, but it's so worth it to push forward to the real meat and potatoes of the rest of the story.

An important "industrial" novel By jo a. olson While the characters. are not as endearing as those in Mrs. Gaskell's Cranford, the story told in North and South gives deep insight into human condition during the Industrial. Revolution. I did not find the denouement entirely believable though there is ample foreshadowing. Still North and South is an excellent read and holds a vitalplace among Mrs. Gaskell's "industrial" novels.
