Entertaining and Enjoyable
By Susannah B (SusieB)
Elizabeth Gaskell's final (and not quite finished) novel 'Wives and Daughters' is set during the mid-nineteenth century in the village of Hollingford in the Midlands, and focuses on the motherless Molly, who enjoys a close relationship with her gruff, but loving father, Doctor Gibson. When Molly is away staying with a friend of her father's, Squire Hamley and his delicate invalid wife - both of whom become very fond of the very biddable and pretty Molly - Doctor Gibson makes the decision to remarry, thinking his daughter needs the influence of woman in her life. Enter ex-governess and widow Mrs Kirkpatrick, an attractive, but rather snobbish and self-centred woman, whose presence Molly initially finds difficult to accept. However, despite her stepmother's faults and her insensitivity to the finer feelings of those around her, the new Mrs Gibson is not unkind to Molly, and when Mrs Gibson's daughter, Cynthia, arrives home from school, Molly and her stepsister, who are of a similar age, become very close to one another - a relationship which more than makes up for the lack of true empathy between Molly and her stepmother. The lovely Cynthia, however, is hiding a secret, and soon the loyal and loving Molly becomes caught up in Cynthia's web of duplicity and dissimulation - a situation that potentially could result in Molly losing her reputation, but to say more might spoil the novel for those who have yet to read it, so I will leave the remainder of the story - and there is a lot more than I have revealed in this review - for prospective readers to discover for themselves.First published in the 1860s and, as previously commented, not quite (but almost) finished, this is a very engaging story which follows the journey of two young girls towards womanhood under the watchful eye of the inhabitants of Hollingford and, as it does so, looks at the role of women in Victorian England - and more besides. I first read this novel many years ago and have been meaning to reread it for some time - however with so many unread books on my bookshelves, I find it difficult to justify the time spent on revisiting books. The solution presented itself in the form of listening to the Audible audio download version, and for this rereading I decided to opt for the abridged version, very ably narrated by Patience Tomlinson (whose wide variety of voices used for the various characters was really rather impressive). I have to confess that I used to be a little disparaging about abridged versions of novels, feeling that if a book is worth reading then it's worth reading in its entirety - however, I've now revised my opinion of audio abridgements (providing they are not too heavily abridged) as I do feel there is a place for them, especially for revisiting books. It is true that if you want the whole experience of the novel and all of the additional little subplots, then you really need to listen to or read the full-length version - and, having read the unabridged novel I can certainly say it is worth the time spent on it - but if, like me, you have read this novel before and just want to revisit it, or if you really haven't the time at the moment to embark on a novel with seven hundred or so pages, then this abridged audio version, which gives a real flavour of this very enjoyable story, is a good one to opt for.5 Stars.

Wives and Daughters
By Bonita
The book reminds of Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park' Molly in this book reminds me of 'Fanny in Mansfield Park' because they are both counted by their friends and relatives in the beginning of each book, as being too poor and beneath those whom they love and want to marry. 'Edmund in Mansfield Park reminds me of 'Roger' in this book because they both make a mistake in love before they both find out who really loves them.I have given this 4 star because one of the characters talks about 'revenge' on 'Molly's step sister'. I also didn't like the gossip spread about Molly when she tries to help her step dister out. I don't like her step sister much or her step mother. Other than that I enjoyed the book. Its just those two people that I couldn't stand.
