The passion and the history embedded in this narrative is as appealing and engrossing today as when it was first published..
As events conspire to throw Margaret and Thornton together, the two spirited characters have to overcome their repressed physical attraction for one another and conquer prejudices of class and circumstance.
However, as Margaret gradually begins to settle in Milton, she learns about the poverty and workplace struggles.
Her distaste extends to handsome and charismatic cotton mill owner John Thornton whom she believes epitomises everything unpleasant about the North.
She hates the dirt, noise and lack of civilisation.
Margaret takes an instant dislike to her new home and its people.
Written from the author\'s first-hand experience, the novel follows the story of Margaret Hope, the young heroine, in her move from the tranquil setting in rural southern England to the raw and turbulent northern town of Milton.
Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector\'s Library are books to love and treasure.
North and South is a wonderful blend of social comment on the dramatic changes in society brought about by the industrial revolution and a compelling love story.
