Reviews

If you like Victorian novels with chapters that begin ‘Fate is a cunning hussy and builds up her plan with unconsidered trifles’, Mrs Gaskell’s last book, about the various consequences of hasty marriages, is for you. It’s unfinished, which makes you wonder how much longer and more expensive it might have been, but that’s unfair. It’s a classic.
