"North and South"
Chatterbox: Blab About Books
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
"North and South"...
"North and South" is about a young woman from the south of England who has to move to the north of England (to Milton to be exact). She meets a young man there who owns a cotton factory. Their personalities clash. But as they get to know each other they start to understand each other. A great read for all the Jane Austen loving fans!

I actually haven't read the book, but I have seen the movie. It is pretty good, and I have been meaning to read it.
Cranford is also another good Elizabeth Gaskell book and movie. There was one other, but I forgot the name.

I think it was Wives and Daughters.

Yes, actually "Wives and Daughters" and "Cranford" were written by her...they made movies for both of those too.

Thanks for the recommendation! It sounds like a really good book.

Sounds library searching worthy.
