I'm loving this book, but I love all of Elizabeth Gaskell's books, so far. In some ways, this book is similar to the others, especially "North and South," also an "us vs them" plot, between mill owners & laborers. And there is an independent, yet pretty heroine, too. However, this book also has a stalker & a murderer tossed into the mix of starvation, disease, children dying, etc. Quite intense.
