Wives and Daughters - Elizabeth Gaskell - książka
Producent: Wordsworth
"Wives and Daughters" remained incomplete at the time of Elizabeth Gaskell's passing, yet it stands as her crowning achievement. Set in a small country town during the early 19th century, the story follows Molly Gibson as she transitions from childhood to adulthood, amid a tapestry of intricately connected narratives. Central to her life are her beloved father, her self-centered and pretentious stepmother, and her stunning yet morally ambiguous stepsister, Cynthia. The tale also involves Squire Hamley and his sons, Osbourne and Roger, Lord and Lady Cummor, along with a variety of other characters who populate Molly's world. Although the setting is limited, the novel explores themes of significant universal relevance. Gaskell masterfully combines keen psychological insight with gentle satire and a deep awareness of societal shifts, crafting a novel that seamlessly intertwines family drama with a rich depiction of social history.
