Not worth the time. Well, to me, the chain of events in Mary Barton seems a bit too optimistic and way in favor of Mary, the heroine! Elizabeth Gaskell has exaggerated the impact of religion in my opinion, putting much effort in favor of Christianity. Also, the cruelty of the upper class of those days has not been shown as it really were.

Mary Barton. Good insight into humans and their humanity. Easy read

Mary Barton. Much like a Shakespearian tragedy, this story tells of the troubled lives of the working-class in an industrial town in England from 1837-1842. I did not enjoy this book as much as North and South by Ms. Gaskell but the characters were interesting and it provided a look at the time through the eyes of the author. Being as much a social commentary as a novel, the book was descriptive and entertaining enough to keep my interest but lacked the levity and depth for me to wish to read it again. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy Jane Austen or Elizabeth Gaskell's works.

Satisfying old fashioned novel. This work is heavier on the sermonizing and over telling than other work but still very enjoyable.

Historical Novel with a true Victorian Heroine. Margaret Gaskell has a great knack of story telling and educating at the same time. Set in Victorian Manchester, it's a hard life and this book tells a tale of hardship, inequality, honour and love. At times it is hard to take but the story is worth the anguish of understanding a little of how hard life was for the workers during the industrial revolution, and you are well rewarded with excitement of rescue, courtroom drama and true love. Her characters are beautifully portrayed and you feel for them all.

Excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a compelling storyline and is full of little pieces of social history which Interest me enormously. Despite the hardship it describes in those far off days, the enduring and constant love of family shines throughout.
