Round the Sofa - Half a Life-Time Ago Part 1
from The Elizabeth Gaskell Library · host Elizabeth Gaskell
In which we are introduced to Susan Dixon, a resolute and solitary Westmoreland farmer’s daughter, whose quiet life is marked by steadfast devotion to her family and the rugged beauty of the dales; amidst the solemn shadows of the yew tree that guards her homestead, tender family ties and early affections begin to unfold with gentle yet poignant complexity. Through the delicate balance of duty, love, and personal will, Susan navigates the challenges of her household and the troubled affections of those around her, while the surrounding landscape imparts a mood both austere and quietly tender.
