About the book

Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford portrays life in a small English town dominated by a close-knit group of respectable middle-aged and elderly women. Their world is governed by elaborate social customs, modest incomes and a strong sense of community. Although the novel gently mocks the characters' little prejudices and eccentricities, Gaskell treats them with great affection. Humorous, warm and occasionally poignant, Cranford celebrates friendship, kindness and resilience while offering a delightful portrait of provincial Victorian life.
