Sylvia's Lovers by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (English) Paperback Book

Description: Sylvia's Lovers by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell Sylvias Lovers (1863) is a novel written by Elizabeth Gaskell, which she called "the saddest story I ever wrote". Sylvia Robson lives happily with her parents on a farm, and is passionately loved by her rather dull Quaker cousin Philip. She, however, meets and falls in love with Charlie Kinraid, a dashing sailor on a whaling vessel, and they become secretly engaged. When Kinraid goes back to his ship, he is forcibly enlisted in the Royal Navy by a press gang, a scene witnessed by Philip. Philip does not tell Sylvia of the incident nor relay to her Charlies parting message and, believing her lover is dead, Sylvia eventually marries her cousin. This act is primarily prompted out of gratefulness for Philips assistance during a difficult time following her fathers imprisonment and subsequent execution for leading a revengeful raid on press-gang collaborators. They have a daughter. Inevitably, Kinraid returns to claim Sylvia and she discovers that Philip knew all the time that he was still alive.
