North And South √ (Project K.) by OttovBismarck

***All Credits To Elizabeth Gaskell*** When her father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the north of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of the local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. This is intensified by her tempestuous relationship with the mill-owner and self-made man, John Thornton, as their fierce opposition over his treatment of his employees masks a deeper attraction. In North and South, Elizabeth Gaskell skillfully fuses individual feeling with social concern, and in Margaret Hale creates one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.

Another Helstone Girl | J. Thornton by thebookgirl25

Eleanor Weston swore she would never return to Milton. The smoky air, the endless hum of machinery, and the memories of a past she wished to forget-it was all behind her. But when the Hales decide to move north, she refuses to let Mrs. Hale arrive in a place unfit for her delicate health. Determined and independent, Eleanor journeys to Milton alone, a month ahead of them, to prepare their new home. What she doesn't expect is John Thornton. At Mr. Hale's request, the stern and formidable mill master offers his reluctant assistance, drawn to the young woman who seems out of place yet utterly at home in his city. Her quiet strength fascinates him, her defiance challenges him, and her kindness unsettles him in ways he cannot explain. But Eleanor has secrets of her own-secrets that could change everything. Because John Thornton's landlord, the man he respects, the man whose name holds weight in Milton... is the father she abandoned long ago. When the truth comes to light, will pride and past wounds drive them apart? Or will love find a way through the smoke and shadows of Milton?

Shadow in the North by EmMarlow

What if a work of fiction wasn't fiction at all? What if we only thought it was fiction because it was written down, and we were separated from it by the page? Isabel Darrow, troubled by her past and feeling disconnected from the world, likes her doctor's suggestion that the world of fiction might become reality. She likes the idea of waking up in the middle of her favourite book with the handsome, brooding Mr Thornton glaring at people in his mill yard, but she doesn't worry about the foul air of dirty, smoky Milton, because it's not real, and it was written over 160 years ago. But then she takes a trip to Oxford, and gets waylaid along the way, finding herself greeted at a smoky train station, by a man called Mr Hale, who claims to be her godfather. When Isabel meets Margaret and first sees Mr Thornton, she's determined to help the course of love run a little more smoothly for the two stubborn lovers. But Gaskell hadn't accounted for a second young lady in the Crampton house, and whilst Isabel tries to adapt to a life where women have no independence or equality, Milton must adapt to her. The question is, will Mr Thornton adapt to her, or Margaret, first?
