Quatrième de couverture :

INCLUDES MR HARRISON'S CONFESSIONS, CRANFORD AND MY LADY LUDLOW

'A comic masterpiece' Independent

Cranford is a sleepy northern town, but modern life, in the shape of a new railway, is pushing its way relentlessly towards it from Manchester, bringing with it new oppoertunities and excitement. The arrival of handsome young Doctor Harrison causes further agitation, not just because of his revolutionary methods but also because of his effect on the hearts of the ladies. Meanwhile, Miss Matty Jenkyns watches the comings and goings and remembers when, as a girl, her own heart was broken.
