Bake @ 350 for 9-11 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Enjoy the preciouses.Note: makes a buttload of cookies, so you might want to halve the recipe. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nothing is for Nought! *by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018* Wives and Daughters has been a wonderful read. Elizabeth Gaskell, the biographer and friend of Charlotte Bronte, wrote this novel over 150 years ago. Yet, it is a true testament to the study of human character.Molly Gibson, the doctor’s only daughter is thrown into a new home order when her father remarries and brings along her own teen daughter. The girls get along well but Molly closely observes Cynthia who is beautiful and enjoys the attention of many suitors. However, Cynthia is underhanded and always seems to be surrounded by secrets and mysteries. Molly is pulled in as a messenger on the mishaps and her reputation is almost at stake in the small town. This is an interesting comparison and contrast of the two girls as they make life choices.Molly strives to understand her new stepmother and sister and she pines for the days when it was simply, she and her father. But over time, Molly’s purity shines forth, her popularity increases, her station is elevated and it looks like she will end up with Roger Hamley, the man she has always understood and loved.Note: The author died before writing the ending, but much can be assumed from this memorable piece. As in life, there are no pat answers and as the saying goes, “Stories must end somewhere.” ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mrs. Gaskell's England *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2014* Like all Victorian novels that began as magazine fiction, WIVES AND DAUGHTERS starts out slowly, introducing the large cast of characters, unraveling their duties and wonts, trading page-turner excitement for the drawn-out episodes that kept the monthly readers in high anticipation issue after issue for two years or more. Stick with it, and after a few hundred pages or so, the modern reader will become as enmeshed in the lives of Molly Gibson and Cynthia Kirkpatrick as she was in the lives of Downton Abbey's Matthew Crawley and Lady Mary Grantham.Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, referred to in her day as "Mrs. Gaskell," was a keen observer of human nature which, after all, hasn't changed much in the last century or two. Jealousy and pride are still the main villainous traits; sweetness and humility the heroic. Consequently, her writing radiates the empathy and compassion that drive her characters to behave like people everywhere. Despite the restrictions of the Victorian era, the human condition as captured by Mrs. Gaskell is timeless. Not a single character, no matter how minor, is superfluous, as each has his or her role to play, and each one plays it precisely, with no exaggeration or unnecessary sentimentality. We recognize these people as easily as if they existed today: "Doesn't Mrs. Gibson remind you of..." and so on.It works. And it's fun. And, as you will see, it definitely leaves you begging for more. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/16019425-wives-and-daughters](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/16019425-wives-and-daughters) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
