North and South

North and South is written by Elizabeth Gaskell,
 
This is the story based on industrial revolution in England in 1850. The Protagonist called Margaret Hale is a beautiful and strong woman. Her family used to be a pretty rich and lived in Helstone, south of England. But one day, they moved to Miltone, north of England where the city was famous for industrial. After they were moving, their poor life started. Margaret was getting used be poor mill workers. As she knew about how poor these workers were, she starts hating their boss, Mr. Thornton. However, Mr. Thornton fell in love with Margaret. What’s going to be happened to them!?

This is not just a love story. You also can understand a social problem such as strike. Margaret lost a lot of thing since she moved to Miltone but she also gained a lot. I recommend this story to the people who are interested in romance and historical background in England.
