Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell

A portrait of the residents of an English country town in the mid-nineteenth century, Cranford relates the adventures of Miss Matty and Miss Deborah, two middle-aged spinster sisters striving to live with dignity in reduced circumstances. Through a series of vignettes, Elizabeth Gaskell portrays a community governed by old-fashioned habits and dominated by friendships between women. This excellent unabridged reading is narrated by Prunella Scales.

Following the BBC version it is great to hear the book from where it came from - based on the true location of Knutsford in Cheshire, England - a few miles from where my Mother-In-Law lives - thank you for sharing this video which gives an insight to the wonderful written story.
