Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell audiobook.

Genre: family

If you like Jane Austen, you will probably like this book!

Mrs. Gaskell, as she was often referred to, is considered one of the greatest British novelists of the Victorian era. She was one of the earliest novelists ever to use dialect in her works, finding often that no word but the vernacular would suffice to convey the meaning she wanted to achieve. She was the author of The Life of Charlotte Brontë, a much-acclaimed and sometimes-reviled biography of her friend and peer.

Wives and Daughters revolves around Molly Gibson, only daughter of a widowed doctor living in a provincial English town in the 1830s. The novel was first published in the Cornhill Magazine as a serial from August 1864 to January 1866. When Mrs Gaskell died suddenly in 1865, it was not quite complete, and the last section was written by Frederick Greenwood.

Ruth by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell audiobook.

Genre: drama

The book is a social novel, dealing with Victorian views about sin and illegitimacy. It is a surprisingly compassionate portrayal of a 'fallen woman', a type of person normally outcast from respectable society. The title of the novel refers to the main character Ruth Hilton, an orphaned young seamstress who is seduced and then abandoned by gentleman Henry Bellingham. Ruth, pregnant and alone, is taken in by a minister and his sister. They conceal her single status under the pretense of widowhood in order to protect her child from the social stigma of illegitimacy. Ruth goes on to gain a respectable position in society as a governess, which is threatened by the return of Bellingham and the revelation of her secret.

The Master-Knot of Human Fate by Ellis Meredith audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

When a spring hike along a rugged Rocky Mountain trail turns into the unthinkable, two strangers are cut off from everything they ever knew. Adam, a capable, reflective man, and Robin, a sharp-witted woman with a fierce moral imagination, watch the world below them vanish in a sudden, overwhelming cataclysm. With no city lights to return to and no voices answering their calls, they take shelter in an isolated cabin and begin the hard work of staying alive: finding food, making tools, learning old skills the modern world made easy to forget. Yet survival is only the first test. In the silence after disaster, Adam and Robin are forced to confront the questions civilization usually drowns out: what makes a life meaningful, what love and companionship require, what duty remains when society is gone, and whether humanity deserves another beginning at all. Part philosophical fable, part intimate survival story, Ellis Merediths novel turns the end of the world into a searching debate about conscience, faith, and the fragile knot that binds two people - and an entire species - to hope.
