Sylvia's Lovers — Complete by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
"Sylvia's Lovers — Complete" by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is a novel published in 1863. Set in a coastal English town during the 1790s, it tells the story of young Sylvia Robson, caught between two men: her devoted Quaker cousin Philip and Charlie Kinraid, a dashing sailor. When Kinraid is forcibly taken by a press gang, Philip conceals this truth, leading Sylvia to believe her lover is dead. Her subsequent marriage sets in
motion a tragic tale of deception, lost love, and eventual redemption that Gaskell herself called "the saddest story I ever wrote." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
