书籍简介

本书是企鹅出版社精美精装经典系列的一部分，由获奖的Coralie Bickford-Smith设计。

盖斯凯尔著名的作品是以一个主要居住着妇女的乡村小镇为背景的。这是一个以合作和八卦为基础的社区，其核心是前校长的女儿们:黛博拉·詹金斯小姐和她的妹妹马蒂小姐。

但是，国内的和平不断受到金融灾难、盗窃、悲惨事故和失散多年的亲人重新出现等形式的威胁。

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Gaskell's best known work is set in a small rural town, inhabited largely by women. This is a community that runs on cooperation and gossip, at the very heart of which are the daughters of the former rector: Miss Deborah Jenkyns and her sister Miss Matty.

But domestic peace is constantly threatened in the form of financial disaster, imagined burglaries, tragic accidents, and the reapparance of long-lost relatives.
