I'm currently in the process of watching the BBC television show based on the novel "North and South" by Elizabeth Gaskell. I am so greatly enjoying the movie, I thought perhaps I'd buy the novel.

Has anyone read it? Is it worth buying, in your opinion? I don't want to waste money, but I'd be very curious as to how close the movie is to the book. If I enjoyed the movie and it's close to the book, I think I'd like to own the book as well.

So any advice about this would be appreciated, or if you just have thoughts about the movie and/or book that you'd like to share, that's fine too.

Thanks all so much!

P.S. To refresh your memories, it's about a woman named Margaret Hale who moves from a quiet country village to a busy cotton milling town. A romance reluctantly blossoms between Margaret and a certain owner of a mill, and the story is filled with tension between millworkers and the owners, strikes, etc. It's a very good drama. It's hard to explain, but you get the picture. Au revoir again. ~M-K

I adore that BBC production of it, and the novel is definitely worth buying in my opinion. It's pretty close to the book if I remember correctly.
