Margaret of the North: A North and South Sequel

Margaret of the North: A North and South Sequel

An enduring romance, a guilty pleasure. This sequel takes off from the titillating ending of the BBC miniseries, North and South, based on Elizabeth Gaskellâ€™s novel.
John Thornton and Margaret Hale honeymoon in a vibrant mid-century Paris when impressionism was beginning to take hold and cafÃ©s were the place to be. They spend days of ease in Cadiz with her brother and his Spanish wife. These experiences change their outlook.
Back in England, she deals with the problems of modernity and industrialization in a harsh bustling northern city. At the same time, she struggles with the age-old complexities of relating to her new husband and mother-in-law.
Can a Victorian feminist tame her man, make him see things her way? Thornton is tender and loving towards Margaret but not as sensitive as she is to the needs of cotton mill workersâ€™. On Margaretâ€™s coaxing, he learns to care more for his factory workers. Both Thornton and Margaret step over the bounds of what society expects their roles to be. This blurring of roles leads them into a new way of meeting each other, more as unique individuals than persons taking on rigid roles.
Margaret of the North resurrects Gaskellâ€™s feminist-leaning themes. It is a romance. But one set in the context of changing social and sexual roles, as well as artistic revolutions.
