Wonderful story! Extremely interesting and delves into difficult subjects such as master/worker and death while having a romantic story. I really love romantic stories, and having already loved Pride and Prejudice I knew this would be a good read.

The BBC movie version with Daniela Denby-Ashe and Richard Armitage is a more than fair version of this novel.

I've been meaning to read North and South for years. I'm so glad I finally did! It was a wonderful read, especially thanks to some excellent book group discussions.
