North and South is a very interesting story that is just a love story and dilemmas of a young girl Margaret. In the story she goes through many troubles within her family and also internal conflicts about a rich windmill owner, Mr. Thornton. In her family, her mom is sick and ends up dying, her brother is an outcast and can never return to England, and eventually, her father dies too. Although that is already a lot of burden, she also faces her own problem such as adapting to a new environment and her feelings towards her crush.
After reading this story, I think that Margaret is just another typical girl and it is perfectly normal for her to have dilemmas within the love department although I must say the tragedies that happen around her are quite devastating. Although I was not interested in the book in the beginning and am not really excited by reading a love story, I think the book is quite well written and the whole book is good overall. Girls are all like that, cannot decide on what they want and are not clear what their feelings are. I have many experiences of girls like that... I feel sympathy for Mr. Thornton and it really is sad for him to be facing strikes, love problems, and in the end poverty... It just shows that love is unfair to us guys...
