About this book

In a quiet English country town, a circle of aging women keeps up appearances with fierce dedication, guarding old customs even as the wider world starts to intrude. Elizabeth Gaskell tells their story in loosely linked episodes, narrated by a younger visitor named Mary Smith, who watches with affection and gentle amusement. Small events fill the pages: a card party, a lost fortune, a brother long thought dead who suddenly returns. Beneath the comedy runs real feeling about friendship, kindness, and the dignity of women getting by on very little. First serialized in Dickens's magazine Household Words, it remains Gaskell's most beloved book.
