Synopsis

Ruth Hilton is an orphaned young seamstress who catches the eye of a gentleman, Henry Bellingham, who is captivated by her simplicity and beauty. When she loses her job and home, he offers her comfort and shelter, only to cruelly desert her soon after. Nearly dead with grief and shame, Ruth is offered the chance of a new life among people who give her love and respect, even though they are at first unaware of her secret - an illegitimate child. When Henry enters her life again, however, Ruth must make the impossible choice between social acceptance and personal pride. In writing Ruth, Elizabeth Gaskell daringly confronted prevailing views about sin and illegitimacy with her compassionate and honest portrait of a 'fallen woman'.

Reviews

On Oct 15 2020, The Old Library Bookshop said:
This book should have been entitled, "Saint Ruth." After her youthful dalliance with a handsome, rich Mr. Bellingham, who seduced her when she was at a desperate low ebb in her life, Ruth's behavior was absolutely flawless. When Bellingham deserts a pregnant Ruth, she is saved by Mr. Benson, a minister of the Dissenter persuasion, and his sister. This is a lovely, old-fashioned story--familiar, yet unique--exploring the nature of sin and redemption and providing great insights into the role of women in early 19th century England.

About Leserstrahl

We started many years ago selling books our kids finished reading. And they read really a lot. With time it grew into a real business and now we have about 60000 books of all kind. As we are based in Germany most of them are in German, but our English collection is also very interesting. Plese be aware that due to European packaging regulations we don't send to Spain, Bulgaria, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Sweden, Slowakia, and Hungary. The manatory fees for the recycling systems are far too high for the low number of orders from these countries.
