Half A Lifetime Ago is a novel written by Elizabeth Gaskell, originally published in 1855. The story follows the life of Mr. Wilkins, a wealthy and respected businessman, who is haunted by a secret from his past that threatens to destroy his reputation and his family's happiness. The novel is set in the mid-19th century and explores themes of love, family, social class, and morality. As the story unfolds, Mr. Wilkins is forced to confront his past and the consequences of his actions, as he tries to protect his family and preserve his reputation. The novel is written in Gaskell's signature style, with rich descriptions of the Victorian era and complex characters that are both relatable and intriguing. Overall, Half A Lifetime Ago is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of human nature and the consequences of our choices.Susan and Michael were to be married in April. He had already gone to take possession of his new farm, three or four miles away from Yew Nook--but that is neighbouring, according to the acceptation of the word in that thinly-populated district, --when William Dixon fell ill. He came home one evening, complaining of head-ache and pains in his limbs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
