In the first place, Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses above a certain rent are women. If a married couple come to settle in the town, somehow the gentleman disappears; he is either fairly frightened to death by being the only man in the Cranford evening parties, or he is accounted for by being with his regiment, his ship, or closely engaged in business all the week in the great neighbouring commercial town of Drumble, distant only twenty miles on a railroad. In short, whatever does become of the gentlemen, they are not at Cranford.
🎧 Includes the full unabridged audiobook (LibriVox recording) along with the ePub.
Description
Elizabeth Gaskell's affectionate and witty novel depicts life in the small English village of Cranford through the eyes of the narrator Mary Smith. A gentle, humorous portrait of a community of genteel women navigating change, friendship, and the quiet dramas of provincial life.
