Book excerpt: Set in English society before the 1832 Reform Bill, Wives and Daughters centers on the story of youthful Molly Gibson, brought up from childhood by her father.

The narrative traces the development of the two girls into womanhood within the gossiping and watchful society of Hollingford.
