Of all of them, this is one the one I most liked. John is not Elizabeth Gaskill's John Thornton. He is much more confident and social than the original John Thornton. What both characters have in common is their deep love for Margaret. What the author does that diminishes the power of her stories, IMO, is to use talking about sex to tell her story. In Victorian time, it simply would not have happened, and John's cavalier attitude about sex is off-putting. How could he just use the women he "dates" knowing that he would never offer them more than his body? A man of honor would never do that, and in the original story, he is a man of honor. Margaret is endearing and the actress who portrayed her in the 2004 mini-series was so incredibly beautiful and I pictured her as I read the story. As the author states, these are not Elizabeth Gaskill's characters, so please do not read expecting that John Thornton is the same John Thornton we all know and love. One other thing I like about this story is Hannah Thornton realizes that her jealousy and possessiveness of her son had greatly injured him and she did what she could at the end of her life to make it up to John and Margaret. I love the bit about the ruby necklace. ### ⭐⭐ A sad departure from the love story *by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2012* This book started out well, giving a reader who is unfamiliar with Gaskell's North and South, a good idea of what had already transpired. Unlike the other reviewer, I didn't mind that Margaret married another, it added to Thornton's despair. However, you just know she has to be widowed for their story to continue. The other option would be divorce which at that time would be unheard of/disgraceful if not for society, than certainly for the righteous Margaret and proud John to experienceCAUTION!!! Parents with young ladies who enjoy books such as Austen's and Gaskell's be advised! Many of the authors of these continuation stories feel it's necessary to have pretty explicit sex scenes. This makes me sad because when I was younger and became a fan of this time period, I would have loved to be able to get more of my favorite books! Please check these books out before you let your kiddos read them!I am an avid reader and a huge fan of the victorian period. When Wynyard decided to have these beloved characters throw propriety completely out the window was when I realized just what an amateur author she is. It's too bad, really. The story could have been great if it were not for the many discrepencies. :-/ ### ⭐⭐⭐ I had to give it a chance. *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2013* Now before I had bought the book I took the time and read some of the reviews of it. That being said, I was determined to give it a chance. While for the most part I like the story itself, but there was one thing that I could NOT get past: the grammar. I hate to be a grammar nazi but I had thought that if someone had taken the time to publish this book that they would have also taken the time to proof-read it as well. I have never in my life seen such an atrocious use of quotation marks as I saw in this book. I understand that no one is perfect, and that mistakes can happen. I am sure there are some grammatical errors in this very review, but 320 pages of it baffles the mind. At times I had difficulties understanding which character was speaking due to an improper use, or lack thereof, of quotation marks.I did give it 3 stars as I did for the most part 'like' the book. I do also believe that the author may want to do some brushing up in the grammar department. --- ## 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.ph/products/25854639-john-thornton-look-back-at-me](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/25854639-john-thornton-look-back-at-me) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
