2. Tagged book for a classic where a character moves. Billy Summers by Stephen King for a more recent one.

I enjoyed this far more than expected, having never really heard of Gaskell and expecting a poor man‘s version of Austen. The depiction of class in 19th century England and the emergent union movement were very interesting and distinguished this text from most of the 19th century romance I have read. It is far from perfect but I am pleased I took the time to listen. Juliet Stevenson is a wonderful narrator.
Watched the BBC adaptation of North and South with the book club girls @VioletCavalier @hkapusta @WonderingGypsy . It‘s a fairly good adaptation of the novel; after all it is a four hour miniseries!
This was my first time reading this author and it won't be my last. I loved how she touched on the classes and brought to life Victorian industrial Era. Will be in the top 10 of favorite reads this year.
1850s novel set in industrialized northern England, a combo of romance and exposure of social injustices. https://cannonballread.com/2023/02/north-and-south-elcicco/
Book haul (right after my unread book post 🙈)! These new Harper Muse Classics are gorgeous!
Book sorting rescues - a Folio edition of the tagged Gaskell and Memoirs of the Early Italian Painters from 1875. Not that I'm super interested in Italian Painters, but it's such a lovely little thing.
