This novel is about England during the Industrial Revolution.
Margaret, a lady from a gentleman's house in South England, moved her family northward (which was rare at the time) because her father resigned from her pastor position and became a tutor in a new industrial town in North England.
Unlike the more farmland, forests, farmers, gentlemen and ladies in the south, the north has gathered a large number of workers and new rich people.
Margaret met one of her father's students, who was also the factory owner Mr Thornton， He is the so-called new rich, not considered a gentleman by British standards, unlike Margaret who was born a lady.
Although not as wealthy as New Rich, in British society it is a higher class, and there are significant differences or even differences in accents, thoughts, social etiquette, speech, and behavior between people in the North and South regions.
The poor air quality, limited green space, and lack of traditional gentlemen and ladies in the industrial town make Margaret very uncomfortable, and there have been several value debates with Mr. Thornton.
Mr. Thornton, being a new rich man, always felt that he was not worthy of the girl he secretly admired - Margaret, the daughter of his tutor.
And this industrial town gradually changed Margaret's views on social class, poverty, and interpersonal skills.
If you like the Jane Austen collection, you can't miss North and South.
PS：
You cannot project the England of the Industrial Revolution era onto contemporary England. The current England is different, with some shortcomings of Northern England. Although the times are different, there are still North South differences in the current England, but the reasons are different from those in the novel.
As for the so-called gentlemen and ladies in the UK, which account for less than 5% of the total population, you must be born as a child of a gentleman and lady, speak standard English RP, have a good way of dealing with people, have a good education in history, art, sports, and gardening, have your own taste, treat people without being humble or overbearing, and many elements are needed to be called a gentleman and lady.
