Description
"Haste to the Wedding."
"Wooed and married and a'."
"Edith!" said Margaret, gently, "Edith!"
But as Margaret half suspected, Edith had fallen asleep. She lay curled up on the sofa in the back drawing-room in Harley Street looking very lovely in her white muslin and blue ribbons. If Titania had ever been dressed in white muslin and blue ribbons, and had fallen asleep on a crimson damask sofa in a back drawing-room, Edith might have been taken for her. Margaret was struck afresh by her cousin's beauty.

View AllLove love love. My first Elizabeth Gaskell, and I almost love her way of writing more than Jane Austen’s (gasp!!!!!). This book’s pace was suuuuuper slow which made it a little hard to keep going sometimes but I love the story and characters. Except for Mr. Thornton?? He kind of sucked most of the time but when he was on, he was ON. And Edith is the literal worst. I’m glad Margaret had a come to Jesus moment and realized she needed to take control of her own life.Oh and I didn’t understand any of the politics or business talk.
very jane austen but too rushed at the end and a lottt of social class commentary
