Cranford
Elizabeth Gaskell keeps getting better and better. She knows how to write of the heart without idolizing romance. She is a moral, yet optimistic realist. I don't feel manipulated by guilt trips, sensuality, vilifications or idealism when watching these BBC productions of her works. Daughter Rachel read North and South and said the miniseries is pretty true to the book, but the book fills in more detail, which she enjoyed. Gaskell has an anti-dialectical approach even though some of her characters don't - at first.
Thanks Ana for letting me watch this previously unopened DVD while you are at camp. I think you will enjoy this as much as the other two!
