Cranford

Meer over het boek

This classic novel, first published in 1853, is a humorous and affectionate portrayal of small-town life in Victorian England. The book's titular village is home to a cast of quirky characters, including the genteel but impoverished Miss Matty, her loyal servant Martha, and the domineering Lady Glenmire. As the residents of Cranford navigate scandals, romances, and social snobbery, Gaskell captures both the absurdity and charm of rural life.
