If you like Jane Austen, you will probably like "Wives and Daughters". This may be Gaskell's wittiest book. She let's her character's tell the story through their own selfish, or honest, or naiive, or manipulative actions. The beautiful and brilliant Cynthia is really the star of this tale-her self-centered mother is the machinating demon, wrekeing havoc with domestic tyrany.
A handsome, successful widower with daughter marries a pretty, winning widow with daughter, and all hell breaks loose. One of the greatest little stories ever told!Get more detail about Wives and Daughters (The Complete Classics).
