Wives and Daughters, Elizabeth Gaskell's last novel, is regarded by many as her masterpiece. Her widowed father marries a second time to give Molly the woman's presence he feels she lacks, but until the arrival of Cynthia, her dazzling step-sister, Molly finds her situation hard to accept. Molly Gibson is the daughter of the doctor in the small provincial town of Hollingford.

Intertwined with the story of the Gibsons is that of Squire Hamley and his two sons; as Molly grows up and falls in love she learns to judge people for what they are, not what they seem. This edition, the first to be based in the original Cornhill Magazine serialization of 1864-6, draws on
