Books: Cranford

I finished listening to Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell yesterday. As I said on FB:

*In my best British accent* Mere words cannot express how much I love the lovely writings of Miss Gaskell. My esteem for dear Miss Matty knows no bounds, which I believe was the aim of Miss Gaskell in the telling of the Cranford Amazons. *British off* This will be a favorite above all others for a very long time. In addition to the greatness of Miss Gaskell’s writing is the narrative perfection of Ms. Porter. She is unmatched.

5 stars out of 5.

And I see that Miss Gaskell wrote two other Cranford stories, so I’m off to see if there are audio versions of them as well. If not, I’ll just have to find the time to sit with the dead tree versions.
