Mrs. Gaskell, a British novelist and short story writer, wrote her last novel “Wives and Daughters” in 1865. When a widowed father of Molly Gibson decides to marry anew, her life turns to be chaos. Molly is to live with an authoritative stepmother and her uncontrollable daughter. The girl is in to look into the obscure family secrets, experience passion and become victim of love intrigues. In spite of the gravity of the plot, the style of writing is much of a comedy. The author gives an accurate account of the late 1820's and fills the narration with a careful character-study, describing their everyday life.
Elizabeth Gaskell hasn’t finished the last chapter of the novel, but the outcome is quite obvious for the reader.
