"Round the Sofa; vol. 2" by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is part of a two-volume collection published in 1859. This second volume presents five diverse short stories told by different narrators gathered around a sofa. The tales range from supernatural mysteries to family tragedies, including stories of curses, lost loves, and ancestral doom. Each narrative offers a glimpse into different lives and secrets, bound together by the intimate setting of storytellers sharing their accounts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
