Elizabeth Gaskell is one of my favorite authors. Her novel North and South is one of my favorite books of all time and one I read over and over. Wives and Daughters is also a favorite of mine. It has a different storyline than some of her other works. In this book human relationships takes the center stage. All kinds of relationships are described, father/daughter, husband/wife, mother/daughter, father/son and the relationships between children and their step-parents. All of her characters are honest, believable people and even though the times are much different I can find myself comparing relationships in this book to relationships in my own life.
This book follows young Molly Gibson, a daughter of the country town's daughter. Mr Gibson is a widower and starts to feel that as Molly is growing into a young woman she could use the influence of a mother. He meets and marries an older woman who has her own daughter around Molly's age. Molly finds her situation unbearable until the arrival of her new sister Cynthia who becomes Molly's closest friend and sister. As Molly grows up she begins to see people differently and learns to take everyone for the people they are not what they seem. Intermixed into the story, is the family of Squire Hamley and their relationships with each other and the social environment of the day.
There are some inconsistencies in the story, but it is important to note that this was Elizabeth Gaskell's last novel and she died before it could be completed. Despite of this fact the story is till fantastic, Molly is one of the most honest, kind hearted heroines in literature and the we get to follow her as she grows up to become an exceptional woman. Even though it is not finished it is a rare book to treasure.
