Molly often stays with the Hamleys of Hamley Hall, spending time with their two sons, Osborne and Roger. Wives and Daughters which follows Molly as she grows into a young woman and falls in love is Elizabeth Gaskells final novel, and her masterpiece. Review She was a pioneer, multitasking mother... Gaskell's work will always be one of the adornments of liberal Britain Guardian My dear Scheherazade...I am sure your powers of narrative can never be exhausted in a single night, but must be good for at least a thousand nights and one Charles Dickens Her stories are wonderfully funny, but the ridiculous is bathed in a poignant, dreamlike mood found nowhere else in fiction, and profound ideas and strong values sleep beneath everyday details of bonnets and cakes Jenny Uglow People who read her always come away surprised at how modern she sounds. You don't have to think yourself into her century in order to sympathise, since her guiding principle was no more or less than a sense of practical, daytoday justice, totally outside the abiding gentlemanladypeasantdonkeypeasant's wife hierarchy which surrounded her Zoe Williams Evening Standard Pah! to Dickens. Eat your heart out, Little Nell.
