Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"North and South" by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is a social novel published in 1854–55. When Margaret Hale is forced to leave her peaceful rural home in southern England for the industrial town of Milton, she confronts the harsh realities of the Industrial Revolution.

The novel explores her evolving understanding of industrial society and her complicated relationship with Thornton.
