Title: This IS worth reading if . . .
Product review: The reviewer above must not know much about Victorian Condition of England novels. Mary Barton is one of the premier novels of this genre detailing the lives of ordinary working class poor in Manchester during the height of the industrial revolution. Mrs. Gaskell lived in Manchester and writes about what she saw with a keen eye and understanding of the workers' plight. If you're looking for bodice-ripping buy something else. If you want a picture of life in England circa 1840 that isn't Dickens, try Mary Barton.
