About this listen

 In North and South, we delve into the life of Margaret Hale, who is uprooted from her serene rural home in the South and thrust into the gritty, industrial town of Milton in Northern England. As she navigates the harsh realities of the industrial revolution, Margaret witnesses the fierce struggles between employers and workers, culminating in the first organized strikes. With a compassionate heart, she befriends the courageous working class, but her ideals clash with those of John Thornton, a wealthy cotton mill owner whose disdain for his workers ignites her fury. This compelling tale explores themes of class, industry, and the fight for justice.Copyright Nature and Animals Science Social Sciences World
