Cousin Phillis Elizabeth Gaskell

COUSIN PHILLIS (1863) by Elizabeth Gaskell is a deceptively simple story of budding young love and its disappointment, as observed through the eyes of a young man who comes to stay with his Cousin Phillis and her family.

Gaskell is at the height of her form in this elegant classic novella of British Victorian family relationships, affections and complexity.
