In this captivating tale, Molly and her father have been living a quiet life since the passing of her mother. However, Mr. Gibson believes that a new marriage will be beneficial for Mollys future. Enter the glamorous new Mama, who brings with her a beautiful step-sister, Cynthia, and a whirlwind of changes to their household. As Mrs. Gibson schemes to secure Cynthia a match with one of the local squires sons, she remains oblivious to her step-daughter’s true feelings and the secret meetings Molly has with Mr. Preston in the woods. This enchanting social commentary by Mrs. Gaskell, the author of North and South and Mary Barton, explores themes of love across class divides—parental love, sisterly bonds, and the self-sacrificing nature of true affection—all vividly brought to life in this dramatic reading featuring a brilliant ensemble of voices.Copyright Plays and Dramas Arte Storia e critica della letteratura Teatro e spettacoli
