| Notes: | Margaret Hale is forced by circumstances to move from the rural south of England to an industrial town in the north. She develops a friendship with John Thornton, a factory owner, that centers on gently teasing each other about the advantages of their different backgrounds and philosophies. Margaret suffers a series of tragedies, and she and John are separated by a misunderstanding. How will it all come out? Do they end their lives in grief and sorrow? Do they manage to resolve their difficulties and get together? For more information, you'll have to read the book. Or just read the back cover in a bookstore sometime. |
