North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell - A Short Summary and Review

A short summary of the book North and South:

Margaret's industrial experience with the lack of social justice.

My favorite Elizabeth Gaskell quote from the book:

"But the cloud never comes in that quarter of the horizon from which we watch for it."

Questions to ponder while reading:

It is wealth or manners that define status?

How do you decide what a person is worth?

My review of the book North and South:

An under-recognized woman author.

A bleaker look at "classical" England.

It did get a little too "all adoring".
