Status Updates From The Cranford Novellas (Girl...

I've come to enjoy this book, like a BBC TV series, funny British humor.

My lady Ludlow - this story confused the hell out of me , I found it almost too descriptive and thus I lost where I was in the narrative. However , it explores the narrative of an elderly aristocratic woman through the lens of her housemaid and her beliefs on education , religion and women. Explores the villagers lives and her story ( through the French Revolution) and eventually her ability to accept change.

Cranford - a group of elderly women in a quaint village going through daily life with all its trials and tribulations. The village entirely led by women and often against the shackles of marriage. Great sub plots of Poor Peter who returns from India and the closure of a bank who one is invested in. A tale of compassion and coming together ! True Gaskell style.
