Ruth Hilton is an orphan and an overworked seamstress, an innocent preyed upon by a weak, wealthy seducer. When he heartlessly abandons her she finds shelter and kindness in the home of a dissenting minister and his sister, who do not reject her when she gives birth to an illegitimate child. But Ruth's self-sacrificing love and devotion are tested to the limit by a twist of fate that brings her past back to haunt her. Gaskell's depiction of Ruth lays bare Victorian hypocrisy and sexual double-standards, and her novel is a remarkable story of love, of the sanctuary and tyranny of the family, and of the consequences of lies and deception. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIBRIS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63509558952266,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/4404\/2826\/files\/IMG_8395_52b58a74-a93d-43ab-be33-28ddc41065a1.jpg?v=1789210441","url":"https:\/\/www.libris.lt\/products\/elizabeth-gaskell-ruth","provider":"LIBRIS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
