gray Women is a story written by Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) in 1861. The editorial Alba, one of my favorites, was published in a book that was entitled "Gothic Tales." The book that I read also belongs to this editorial, which I ordered a collection under the heading "Women and Love" and was given away or sold at affordable prices along with the newspaper. It is not until now that I have read and do not know why I waited so long, because it is something done in one go, plus it really worth it.
This short story can be described as gothic, as it has some of the typical elements of the genre: wife locked in a gloomy castle which is joined by a desperate escape with interesting action, but the story being told by the protagonist in a letter to his daughter, has a certain predictability. Highlight the characters of the husband the dapper Mr de la Tourelle, and especially the brave girl Anna, who has the curious name of "Lover." Once again, Elizabeth Gaskell shows that it is one of the greatest writers of the Victorian era, so it certainly buy the book from the publisher Alba that includes all other stories. I'm sure I also love.
