Features: Cranford has no rich people, but poverty is a taboo topic. Absolutely not! It's considered vulgar, and being unconventional is very important in Cranford. At the late Mrs. Jamison's elegant party, only buttered bread (expensive food is considered vulgar) was served. Miss Jesse Brown openly discussed her uncle who ran a shop, and Miss Deborah Jenkins was furious. An uncle who runs a business! How terrible! The social rules of 150 years ago may be different from today, but people haven't changed much. The ladies of Cranford, like people of any era, experience joys and sorrows, pride, courage, jealousy—but they are also very kind. Lovely and gentle Miss Matty is helped by everyone when she faces difficulties. Although Miss Matty has experienced many misfortunes in life, a surprise awaits her.
