Sylvia's Lovers (Revised) | Elizabeth Gaskell
Pickpick

Difficult to read and to get through but worth it in the end

Pickpick

Didn't love this as much as I loved Wives & Daughters, but has a compelling female protagonist in Sylvia and two relatively nuanced male characters vying for her affections. The secondary characters complete the awesomeness, especially Sylvia's tragicomic, irascible blowhard of a father.

I'm also dying to know if anyone has actually been to Whitby, the inspiration for Monkshaven, because I officially want to do a book tour. #LitsyAtoZ

Gaskell, a beer, and calamari at Republic in Takoma Park, on one of those randomly springlike days that fool D.C. into thinking winter is over = the best way I know how to be a jobless hippie for a week.
