THE CRANFORD CHRONICLES
ELIZABETH CLEGHORN GASKELL
Cranford is a sleepy northern town, but modern life, in the shape of the new railway, is pushing its way relentlessly towards it from Manchester, bringing with it new opportunities and excitement. The arrival of handsome young Doctor Harrison causes further agitation, not just because of his revolutionary methods but also because of his effects on the hearts of the ladies. Meanwhile, Miss Matty Jenkyns watches the comings and goings and remembers when, as a girl, her own heart was broken.
