Romance amid the Industrial Revolution

A friend recommended this to me as she knew I was a fan of Pride and Prejudice and the other Gaskell novel - Cranford. This is a great romance with many parallels to Mr. Darby and Elizabeth Bennet. While Austen's masterpiece surrounds her story with social mores and wit - this romance is played out against the Industrial Revolution and the the class warfare of mid 19th century Great Britain. It is wonderfully acted and filmed. I plan on it becoming a permanent edition to my home library.
