North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

When the author's father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, she is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the North of England.
"[An] admirable story … full of character and power"
—Charles Dickens
Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-65) was born in London but grew up in the north of England in the village of Knutsford. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848, winning the attention of Charles Dickens, and most of her later work was published in his journals. She was also a lifelong friend of Charlotte Brontë, whose biography she wrote.
