Description
Lizzie Leigh, seamstress, a mother, siblings, a brother accused. Gaskell’s novella is dignity under a town’s eye — crime, rumours, an illegitimate child in the count of shame. Sovereign ebook. Not a tract. How a family keeps house when the street has already judged. Guilt that is not the same as guiltiness. Victorian England, needlework, the thin line between honour and hunger. A woman trying to stay herself while the plot tries to make her a lesson.
