Immerse yourself in rural Victorian England with 'The Confessions of Mr. Harrison', a charming novel by Elizabeth Gaskell. After completing his medical training in London, the young and handsome Mr. Harrison accepts a position as a medical assistant in Duncombe, a town where most of his patients are wealthy widows and spinsters. Despite being attracted to Sophy, the rector's daughter, Harrison finds himself embroiled in comical misunderstandings and involuntary courtships that will test his patience and vanity. This edition, number 7 in the Club Victòria series, is translated by Joaquim Mallafrè and published by Viena.
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, often referred to as Mrs Gaskell, was an English novelist, biographer, and short story writer. Her novels offer detailed studies of Victorian society, including the lives of the very poor. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848. Her only biography The Life of Charlotte Brontë, published in 1857, was controversial and significant in establishing the Brontë family's lasting fame. Among Gaskell's best known novels are Cranford (1851–1853), North and South (1854–1855), and Wives and Daughters (1864–1866), all of which have been adapted for television by the BBC.
