Author: Elizabeth
Gaskell
Genre: Life,
family (well, not really family, but the small town is LIKE a family!), classic
My rating
on a 1-10 scale: 8.5 (a high 8.5…it was good!)
Type: Fiction
Number of
pages: I read it on a Kindle, but the Dover paperback has 144
Time
period: 1800’s
My overall
opinion: Very good, a delightful read! I admit to being surprised at how
much I enjoyed it…cause I really did! It was funny and sweet. I later discovered
that the TV series (which I’m currently watching and totally loving) is based
on three books, not just this one. They are My
Lady Ludlow and Mr Harrison’s
Confessions by the same author. I was surprised to find no mention of any
Dr. Harrison in Cranford since you
also hear about him associated with the TV series! But the three books explain
it. Great read, fairly short, and highly entertaining!

I wish I could enjoy it as much as you do, but honestly, it bored me most of the time. I'd love to give the TV series a try, though.
Well, I was surprised how much it interested because it seemed like a book that would bore ME! I just finished the TV series last night, also a lot of fun. :)
