North and South (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781022888517)

Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, 'North and South' is the classic novel of social and industrial change. When Margaret Hale, a middle-class southerner, moves to the northern industrial town of Milton, she is exposed to the poverty and struggle of the working class - and the passionate idealism of John Thornton, a self-made cotton mill owner. As Margaret and John clash over their conflicting values, and social unrest threatens to erupt into violence, they find themselves drawn together by an unexpected and transformative love.
