"I know you despise me; allow me to say, it is because you do not understand me."

They call it an industrial 'Pride and Prejudice'. Placed somewhere between the socialist realisation of Dickens and the female oriented romantic narratives of Austen, Gaskell offers a perfect balance between so many binaries.

Another edition to my #northandsouth collection, this one is tiny, thin pages, but! It‘s a delightful hardcover, with golden edges and lovely bookmark. And a font is legible size. Loving it!

Heaven and Hell | John Jakes

This is the third in the North and South trilogy, and my least favorite of the three. By this book, a few things have happened to some main characters that shocked me...how would Jakes wrap up the storylines? In an odd way, in my opinion...

But, if you read the first two (North and South and Love and War), this is a must. #novemberbythenumbers

"He had known what love was – a sharp pang, a fierce experience, in the midst of whose flames he was struggling! but, through that furnace he would fight his way out into the serenity of middle age, – all the richer and more human for having known this great passion."

Partly because I'm loving making collages & partly because of busy Sat; made my #AprilTBR yesterday. Then I popped in to library to get audio CD(Killed at the Whim of a Hat) for the old vehicle cause Bluetooth connector thingy quit working. Spotted beautiful cover of Paris Aparment and 'needed' as well. So now we are up 2 more. 🤓 #booknerdproblems Definitely #aprilbookshowers @RealLifeReading

Crinoline_Laphroaig Because I haven't quite got hang of pic collage and you can see the titles. I'm tagging. It's like pushing elevator button. #justbecauseIcan
