Wives and Daugthers

Elizabeth Gaskell

1866

"Wives and Daughters is a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in the Cornhill Magazine as a serial from August 1864 to January 1866. It was partly written whilst Gaskell was staying with the salon hostess Mary Elizabeth Mohl at her home on the Rue de Bac in Paris. When Mrs Gaskell died suddenly in 1865, it was not quite complete, and the last section was written by Frederick Greenwood."

 Goodreads

Although this novel is unfinished (the author died before it was published), it's one of my favorites. The characters are extremely likeable and I was immersed easily into the world. I love the way Gaskell writes and this is an especially good story about romance and family.
