About this title

Review:

"Beautifully played, very funny and deftly directed, it's a world I cant wait to get back to" Independent "The cast was so strong it was almost distracting. But, as in any great ensemble, when the individuals came together nothing jarred... This adaptation added up to even more than the sum of its considerable parts" The Times "its early days, of course, but Cranford seems to achieve the perfect balance that every soap opera strives for - usually fails to reach - comedy, romance, intrigue, and a bit of social comment" Daily Express"

Book Description:

Based on three Elizabeth Gaskell novels, The Cranford Chronicles follows the small absurdities and major tragedies in the lives of the people of Cranford, a small Cheshire market town, during one extraordinary year.
