But this throws her into direct conflict with the powerful young mill-owner John Thornton. Using personal passions to explore deep social divisions, North and South is a great romance - and one of Elizabeth Gaskells finest works. Editorial Reviews: Set amid the industrial-age squalor of Northern England, Elizabeth Gaskells classic romantic drama, North and South, reveals the massive chasm that separates the rich and poor of the Victorian era. The story follows well-to-do Margaret Hale, who relocates from the opulent tranquility of the south country to the bustling mill town of Milton-Northern. Aghast at the conditions of the working poor, Margaret becomes increasingly entangled in town politics, leading to an unlikely romance with a local mill owner. Veteran voiceover artist Clare Wille brings elocutory eloquence to Margarets quest. Wille effortlessly flits between the varied concerns of Gaskells characters, capturing working-class worry, aristocratic outrage, and rapturous romance in the process.
