Synopsis

Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell is a poignant Victorian novel first published in the UK in 1853.

Ruth Hilton, a young and innocent orphan, is seduced and abandoned by a wealthy gentleman, leaving her to navigate the harsh judgments of Victorian society as an unwed mother.
Rescued by Mr Benson, a kind hearted minister, Ruth assumes a new identity and is determined to build a new respectable life for herself. However, the shadows of her past loom over her and threaten to unravel her newfound tranquility.

A powerful critique of Victorian society, Ruth is an unmissable read for lovers of classic social fiction.
