Cranford by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
A portrait of the residents of an English country town in the mid-nineteenth century, it relates the adventures of Miss Matty and Miss Deborah, two middle-aged spinster sisters striving to live with dignity in reduced circumstances. It portrays a community governed by old-fashioned habits and dominated by friendships between women.
Beautifully played, very funny and deftly directed, it's a world I cant wait to get back to Independent The cast was so strong it was almost distractingBut, as in any great ensemble, when the individuals came together nothing jarred... This adaptation added up to even more than the sum of its considerable parts The Times its early days, of course, but Cranford seems to achieve the perfect balance that every soap opera strives for - usually fails to reach - comedy, romance, intrigue, and a bit of social comment Daily Express
