Publisher's Synopsis
Mabel Vaughan is a novel by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, first published in 1857. The book follows the life of Mabel Vaughan, a young woman who is orphaned at a young age and raised by her aunt and uncle. Mabel is a gentle and kind-hearted person, but she is also strong-willed and independent. She falls in love with a young man named Guy, but their relationship is complicated by their different social statuses and the disapproval of Guy's family. As Mabel navigates the challenges of love and society, she also grapples with questions of morality and religion. She is deeply influenced by her religious beliefs and struggles to reconcile her faith with the realities of the world around her. Along the way, Mabel encounters a cast of complex and memorable characters, including her aunt and uncle, Guy's family, and a group of religious reformers. Mabel Vaughan is a thoughtful and engaging novel that explores themes of love, faith, and social class. Gaskell's writing is rich and evocative, and her characters are vividly drawn and deeply human.
