Wives and Daughters (Penguin English Library)

Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell

Back cover description:

With its lively depiction of a close-knit, gossiping community and its richly drawn female characters, Elizabeth Gaskell’s last and finest novel is a warm, funny portrayal of human relationships.

When seventeen-year-old Molly Gibson’s widowed father remarries, her life is thrown off course by her vain, manipulative stepmother and enlivened by a glamorous new stepsister, Cynthia. Molly soon finds herself a go-between in Cynthia’s romantic affairs – but in doing so risks losing her reputation and the man she secretly loves.
