A passionate tale of love across the social divide
Margaret Hale is a southerner from a country vicarage newly settled in the industrial northern town of Milton.

When the workers of Milton call a strike, Margaret takes their side, and the two are brought into deeper conflict. As events spiral out of control, Margaret - to her surprise - begins to fall in love with Thornton...
