North and South

I have decided to make this more of a media review because I don't finish books fast enough... probably because I read at night and end up falling asleep. Although, I do fall asleep during movies as well.

North and South is in the same feel as Pride and Prejudice and it is fantastic. It is the story of Margaret Hale's family being moved to Milton with a struggling economy. With the struggling economy also comes the fight between the union and the employer, Mr. Thornton. Margaret is cordial to Mr. Thornton but resists his friendship after watching him harshly treat one of his employees. The story continues and the feelings between the two are reconciled...

Miss Margaret, is truly to be admired as she crushes the challenges that come her way and of course finds love while doing so. Basically she puts me to shame as a woman with all she is able to handle. It is a great reminder of making the best of your situation, taking challenges head-on and going in with a smile.
