Sinopsis
Ruth Hilton is an orphaned young seamstress who catches the eye of a gentleman, Henry Bellingham, who is captivated by her simplicity and beauty. When she loses her job and home, he offers her comfort and shelter, only to cruelly desert her soon after. Nearly dead with grief and shame, Ruth is offered the chance of a new life among people who give her love and respect, even though they are at first unaware of her secret - an illegitimate child. When Henry enters her life again, however, Ruth must make the impossible choice between social acceptance and personal pride. In writing Ruth, Elizabeth Gaskell daringly confronted prevailing views about sin and illegitimacy with her compassionate and honest portrait of a 'fallen woman'.
Reseñas
El Oct 15 2020, The Old Library Bookshop dijo:
This book should have been entitled, "Saint Ruth." After her youthful dalliance with a handsome, rich Mr. Bellingham, who seduced her when she was at a desperate low ebb in her life, Ruth's behavior was absolutely flawless. When Bellingham deserts a pregnant Ruth, she is saved by Mr. Benson, a minister of the Dissenter persuasion, and his sister. This is a lovely, old-fashioned story--familiar, yet unique--exploring the nature of sin and redemption and providing great insights into the role of women in early 19th century England.
