Ruth

Average rating
4.2 out of 5
Based on 21 Ratings and 19 Reviews

Book Description
One of the less familiar of Mrs. Gaskell's novels, Ruth was in its own time a cause celebre which not only contributed substantially to its author's growing reputation but also won the approval of a number of her distinguished contemporaries. The text used for this edition is based upon that of the first edition published in 1853.
