Meet the Author

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (1810-1865) was a prominent Victorian novelist. She wrote lasting gothic ghost stories such as “The Old Nurse’s Story,” as well as prominent industrial fiction, including North and South. She even took inspiration from her close friends, Charlotte Brontë and Charles Dickens, writing Brontë’s biography as she focused on the role of women in society to create classic works of all kinds.

    A Classic

    Unlike so many of shallow modern novels, Ruth offers a rich, deep, character-driven story with a powerful ending.

    Excellent Book

    This is the best book I have read in a long time. It draws you in and really leads you to empathise with Ruth and her plight. It was wonderful.
