And I read that bio of Charlotte Bronte light years ago, and probably due for a re-read :) Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-78562602965930730862018-02-10T08:22:32.785+11:002018-02-10T08:22:32.785+11:00Oh wow, this is a long one!

Glad you enjoyed this one. :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01770967860972422657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-46837228631209712702018-01-30T22:09:55.987+11:002018-01-30T22:09:55.987+11:00Thanks Karen, it's such a beautiful book.

I really want to read more now, and the two you've mentioned are on my radar.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-21136187039381127292018-01-30T20:05:58.386+11:002018-01-30T20:05:58.386+11:00One of my favorites!

I think I may have to reread W&D for my favorite classic for the challenge.

I believe it was Gaskell's first novel, while Wives and Daughters was, of course, her last. It'll be an interesting comparison.
