A quiet and beautifully observed Victorian novella, Cousin Phillis is Elizabeth Gaskell's tender story of youth, first love, family affection, and the painful awakening from innocence into experience.

Paul Manning, a young railway engineer, comes to know his mother's relatives in the countryside: the Holman family, whose farm and household seem at first to belong to an older, calmer, more rooted world. There he meets Phillis Holman, his cousin, a thoughtful and sensitive young woman raised among books, work, religious seriousness, and rural duty. Paul is charmed by the warmth and dignity of the household, but his visits also bring the outside world with him, including the accomplished Edward Holdsworth, whose intelligence and easy confidence stir emotions Phillis has never had to confront before.
