North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

My first book post in ages yay! Last month I only finished The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl by Belle de Jour... which, although in parts was very amusing, on the whole was rather too raunchy for me to think of anything to say in a blog post!

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell Part 1 - BBC Miniseries and Score

Part 1 - BBC Miniseries and Score Part 2 - Book Part 3 - Differences Between the Miniseries and Book They're...
