North and South
A southern clergyman’s daughter is uprooted to a grim northern mill town, where she clashes with a proud self-made factory owner amid strikes, poverty, and pride, and slowly learns to see him, and the industrial world, anew. A great Victorian novel of class and love.
No companion available yet.
A Pride and Prejudice for the age of the factory, a slow-burning romance wrapped around the great question of the industrial age: how should the classes live together? Warm, intelligent, and deeply moving.
SettingIndustrial England, 1850s
England split between the genteel, agricultural South and the smoky, booming industrial North, where mill owners and mill hands eyed each other across a chasm of wealth, and the modern economy was being born in anger.
