About the book

Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth follows a young woman who becomes socially disgraced after an affair leaves her pregnant and abandoned. Given a chance to rebuild her life, Ruth devotes herself to her child and to helping others, but the conventions of Victorian society continue to threaten her position. Gaskell uses the story to challenge harsh moral judgement and explore compassion, redemption and hypocrisy.
